pickFinished Hotel Africa, a very strong anthology, with stories about/set in hotels all over Africa, by solely African writers, today.
I'm so glad I came across this book - I thoroughly enjoyed nearly all the stories and learned a shit ton from it. It shows how little we know (at least I did) about life in Africa.
Found a few new promising writers I'm definitely going to keep an eye on.
What a fascinating, diverse continent, what a great book!
You took over your route from a man who was half-blind in one eye and had the IQ of a pine table.
