An Alternative, Underground List of Favourite Books of 2011
Yes I know 2011 is over but I just had to share this. I found an 'alternative, underground list of favourite books of 2011' on The Millions. What's cool is that a lot of the books on the list are African. What I love even more is that you get to see what some authors favourite books of 2011 were. Here's a little snippet, but if you want to know more check out The Alternative, The Underground, The Oh-Yes-That-One List of Favourite Books of 2011.
Doreen Baingana, author of Tropical Fish: Broken Glass by Alain Mabanckou is, despite its misogynistic tendencies in parts, a brilliant book. A biting satire about desperate conditions and characters who hang out at a slum bar called Credit Gone West, it should make you cry, but you can’t help but laugh bitterly.
