Great African Reads discussion

i only know six of these authors and have yet to read from all of them...

yikes - I really need to do some catching up! I don't know a lot of these, and I've only read something by one of them! Thanks so much for this list. It's great.

I hadn't seen this list before. Here is a link to the first of the 10 or actually 11 http://flavorwire.com/186592/10-young... I think I have read something from six of them, and have two on my TBR shelves, but there are some I haven't heard of.

So thanks for pointing this out Marieke!

Wow, thanks for posting this! Not only do they seem to write really well, they all look really gorgeous (sorry, I got sidetracked by the beautiful photos, esp. by Olufemi Terry! :D )

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm not familiar with any unfortunately but now I'll be on the look out for their work.

Thanks, Amalie! i was happy to find it myself. i may try to get something semi-organized going here at the group (in addition to the Tour) that focuses on authors such as these...

Granta just issued a list of 20 young British novelists. It's a pretty diverse group. http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/...

Thanks, Ming! A good reminder I still haven't read the Helen Oyeyi book I bought ages and ages ago.....

Interesting list. Thank you

Interesting list. Just saw it now and put some on my TBR. It's never too late to catch up thankfully.

Gosh. I only know 3! Thanks for sharing
