I mostly read (hard) sci-fi written by straight white dudes, so the tweet on the screenshot made me feel a bit defensive. In the replies and qrts people are patting themselves on the back for reading marginalized fantasy writers exclusively and this "consumption as activism" seems rad-libby to me, but maybe I'm wrong.
What are some talented African authors we could read?
Helen Oyeyemi's What is Not Yours is Not Yours is one of my favorite books, it's litfic/magical realism in a bunch of interconnected short stories
I also enjoyed Nnedi Okorafor's Akata Witch, which is more YA fantasy and is set in Nigeria
thanks
Np, enjoy!
