I am Currently Obsessed with ...
I go through phases where I am obsessed with authors. I want to have, and read, every single one of their books. Right now, I am currently obsessed with ... Alain Mabanckou.
Born in Congo, Alain Mabanckou is the author of quite a long list of titles, but only a few have been translated into English. I've been wanting to read his novels for the longest time, but so far only 4 of his works have been translated into English - African Psycho in 2007, Broken Glass in 2009, Memoirs of a Porcupine in 2011, and Black Bazar (this year, I think!). It also seems like Blue White Red (Bleu-Blanc-Rouge, his first novel) and Tomorrow I Will be 20 Years Old (Demain J'Aurais Vingt Ans), will also be translated next year. Can't wait to get my hands on them. And dear publishers, please can we get some more of his works translated into English. Thank you!
