More, Please







Why is it so hard to get ahold of African literature? I just finished two more versions of Sunjata and and I could happily do with two more. The comparison of what is important to each storyteller gives this epic a translucent life. With the setting aside of historicity in favor of meaning the purpose of art becomes as clear as a bald man’s character to a phrenologist. It is shakshuka compared to oatmeal. I love it.
