Great African Reads discussion

We'll be reading Miracle by Tope Folarin between 16-30th October.

Folarin is an American-Nigerian author who was awarded the Caine Prize in 2013.

For all those interested, there is a video of Folarin reading sections from Miracle and his interview with the Library of Congress about his work and African contemporary literature.

Just wanted to share Tope Folarin’s tweet from last week:

I’ve waited a long time to say this: I have finished my novel. It’s called A Particular Kind of Black Man, and it will be out next summer from Simon Books. I’ve never worked harder on anything in my life, and I can't wait for you to read it!

It's a nice read, about miracles in a Nigerian diaspora church in the US. While reading, I grew more and more curious about how the story would end, and it does in a quite original way.
