I had very high hopes for this book. While the first few stories are engaging, I quickly became bored with this. I found myself skipping past stories when the first few paragraphs were dull or completely un-engaging.
This is pretty standard, in my opinion. Most short story collections have a few big winners and a majority are fairly middle ground. Good writing, but they are story winners - meaning they mostly fit a judge's opinion of what a winning story should look like for that contest - not necessarily the best or what readers would want.
I am very glad to be seeing African literature being featured more and more however, since they've long been excluded. I'm hoping this collection is at the beginning of a new group of authors and works. ( )
