Found in The Dark (issue 50): Who Will Clean Our Spirits When We‘re Gone?, a short story by the same author as the tagged book. A ghost (or spirit) story set in a university campus in #Botswana. Lacks polish but poetic & has potential.

so-soIt's a surreal novella set in a segregated city where White and Black districts are separated by railroad tracks for a train carrying ghosts. Black homes and citizens are targeted for erasure. The narrator finds she is losing her skin color and language and eventually her home. Others disappear altogether. Powerful stuff, but it's rarely clear just what is happening, nor what is a dream. I admire parts of it, but it is not an easy read.
