Review
Africa's most important literary award.' - International Herald Tribune. 'It provokes and challenges' - Harare News, Zimbabwe. 'Dazzling and splendidly diverse' - The Times, UK. To me this isn't just the best fiction Africa has to offer, it's some of the best fiction the world has to offer...These writers are a reminder that there's a huge production of literature going on in Africa that can and should be part of the global conversation. - Coilin Parsons, Irish literary scholar. My favorite story so far is 'Flying' by Elnathan John. 'Flying' is how a short story should be: simple yet moving. The story is about Tachio - a JSS3 (9th grade) dorm leader of a refugee home/school, who believes he can fly once he falls asleep. Elnathan's use of metaphors in comparing human appearances to animals gave the story some spice. - - Darkowaa, African Book Addict. 'Understatement and the unspoken prevail: hints of an orphan's identity bring poignant understanding of his world; the reader is slowly and expertly guided to awareness of a narrator's blindness; there is delicate allusion to homosexual love; a disfigured human body is encountered in relation to adolescent escapades; a nameless wife's insecurities barely mask her understanding of injustice; and, we are given a flash of insight into dark passions that rise out of a surreal resistance culture.' - Zoe Wicomb, South African author.
