Thank you for all of this story & context. I’m about to read Heart Lamp — all of this is so helpful.

this is very well put:"We must spend our mornings swiping away these thoughts to get a chance at a small, open window in which we can let ourselves reach deep inside."

Hey all. It's been long since I last read your publication. anyway, you guys should take a look at our posts, read them and live your opinion. We shall consider the context of your comments when selecting participants for literary projects that are back by little prizes or motivational gifts.

Our hearts weep here at African Literature Academisphere as we mourn the loss of one of the pioneers of African literature, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o. If you can, please pick up a copy of A Grain of Wheat and spend some time with it—it would be a meaningful way to connect. We’ll be discussing the book at a dinner held in his honor. Also read our post about it and leave a comment. That would comfort a lot of people.Also, read our post about the dinner and leave a comment. That would bring comfort to many. https://substack.com/@africanliterature4academicsphere/p-164812691

Nice. So which other book do you want us to read so one of my people can send in their review? I will then post it on my profile. Please can you read our posts to get a feel of what we are doing for African literature? Like and leave a relevant comment.
