Global Conversations on Creating Pan-African Speculative Literature In A Pandemic
Ratings1
Average rating4
I very much enjoyed reading this short collection of non-fiction. Don't go into this expecting in-depth essays or serious literary criticism. That's not what this collection tries to be- instead, you will find people reflecting on their experience trying to break into the SFF world, trying to battle through the pandemic, and finding meaning in it.
I was expecting this to be a melancholic or bitter collection... but found most pieces to end on a hopeful note. These are reflections, yes, but I was pleased to see most authors look at the bright side of it all. Above all, I was delighted to read about some of the perspectives here. I learned.
This non-fiction book is available for free online and is a rather quick read. Highly recommended if you're interested in the perspective of Black and African writers!
