Africa Reading Challenge – Wizard of the Crow

Just a note to say that I’m reading it.  Making my way through it at some leisure.  Tackling Ngugi isn’t a quick and easy thing – but it’s rewarding nevertheless.  

Update – Caribbean Reading Challenge

Those of you who’re interested in it, have no fear — I’ve set up the page and it will be published come November.  In the meantime, spread the word.

Also in the meantime, some thoughts on literature, writing, etc.  This is once again shamelessly borrowed from Dave – Chris Abani on the stories of Africa.
