Balbala: Roman | 
Waberi is probably the best-known Djiboutian author in the world. He currently teaches francophone literature at George Washington University. Balbala is a short but dense political novel about #Djibouti. Clearly, I get on better with his poetry than his novels, but I'll persevere. I saw him at a couple of round tables last weekend (hence the photo - he's right in the middle), and he is a very engaging public speaker.
