Bald Dandelions With Their Wishes Blown Clean Off book by Mona Liban
By Mona LibanThese ten stories, emerging from Rwanda?Kenya, Somaliland, Somalia and Ethiopia?highlight new African voices that share bold combinations of openness and curiosity?nuance and bravery. From fiery femme tongues?broken colonial languages and tender queer subjectivities, to the complexities of embracing and rebelling against tradition via a young girl's battle to attain education, and a story about chronic illness, their narratives revisit old themes in radical and experimental ways. Engaging with love and hate, crime and domestic Violence, passion and myth, resilience and family, this anthology illuminates and enacts the unbound commonality of African lives inspite of exaggerated national boundaries. This is a wonderful collection by a group of writers from the breadth of Eastern Africa.It was an honour to wonk with them and to read their stories full of beauty and tragedy Nadifa Mohamed
