Into the Forest discussion

Here is the place to discuss retellings, traditional tales, or books inspired by the mythology, folklore, or fairy tales of Africa

Okay, here are the books I've read based on African folklore and mythology:

Nigeria:
Ikenga by Nnedi Okorafor
Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko
Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi
Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

Sengal:
Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord

Ethiopia:
Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood

Egypt:
A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark
The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin

Ghana:
Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi

West African:
Kingdom of Souls by Rena Barron
A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown

I will be reading 2 books for this category. Normally I would read a book each from a different country, but when there are 2 books out by one of my favourite authors, Nnedi Okorafor, I just can't help myself. I will be reading Akata Woman and Noor

There are 2 books by African authors on the Endicot Mythic Fiction list:
The God Who Begat a Jackal: A Novel by Nega Mezlekia I read a few years ago. The author is Ethiopian and The Palm-Wine Drinkard & My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Amos Tutuola which I have not read yet.

I've read Toutula in Italian, I remember the language is very peculiar so it takes some time to get used to it, and there is a tale about skulls that I enjoyed quite much
