Status Updates From Harmattan Season

Pause ✋ this book is way too much for my brain atm, I'm really struggling with the combination of French, some form of Nigerian language I think? and the fictional language of the book. It means that every few sentences I'm googling something, or trying to remember what a word was from prior in the book

I wasn't expecting a book about how the Fr*nch were brutal colonisers to be such a bummer :(

I think this book assumes I’m smarter than I really am? PLEASE EXPLAIN SOMETHING. ANYTHING.
