Reviews

It's a rich, gentle, powerful, kind African voice that is largely missing from America, and that is certainly invisible in American accounts of African politics. Andrew Solomon, author of THE NOONDAY DEMON [Mahama's stories] lure the reader into an unforgettable journey in which he interacts with history as a living tissue. The characters and the episodes are part of the everyday but one imbued with magic and suggestive power that go beyond the concrete and the palpable to hint at history in motion. Ngugi wa Thiongo, author of WEEP NOT CHILD and WIZARD OF THE CROW I found the stories - or rather snapshots of a life - warm and engaging. I particularly liked the view of a complex world in microcosm. Aminatta Forna, author of THE MEMORY OF LOVE
