Tour d'Afrique
We are immersed in South Sudan until the end of this month.
Our official reads for this stop are Beyond the River Yei: Life in the Land Where Sleeping Is a Disease, which was difficult to access, and why we are also reading Emma's War. I opened a side-read for a collection of short stories, There Is a Country: New Fiction from the New Nation of South Sudan

Please join us in any or all of these discussion threads!

HI, my name is Nathan H. Mogos an Eritrean writer currently residing in Norway. I have published two books, Mottak: An African tale of Immigration and Asylum as well as the recently published Amid the Chaos.
It is a great pleasure to join an African literary discussion group where I get to discover many insightful African books as well as meet enthusiastic readers around the globe!

Hi Nathan, nice to meet you = )

Welcome Nathan! I do not come across many Eritrean authors and I haven't yet read one from that country.

Hi Nathan, I added your books on my want to read list.

Hi Nathan,
I plan to read both of your books soon.
