A one-of-a-kind collection showcasing the energy of new African
literature
Coming at a time when Africa and African writers are in the midst
of a remarkable renaissance, "Gods and Soldiers" captures the
vitality and urgency of African writing today. With stories from
northern Arabic-speaking to southern Zulu-speaking writers, this
collection conveys thirty different ways of approaching what it
means to be African. Whether about life in the new urban melting
pots of Cape Town and Luanda, or amid the battlefield chaos of
Zimbabwe and Somalia, or set in the imaginary surreal landscapes
born out of the oral storytelling tradition, these stories
represent a striking cross section of extraordinary writing.
Including works by J. M. Coetzee, Chimamanda Adichie, Nuruddin
Farah, Binyavanga Wainaina, and Chinua Achebe, and edited by Rob
Spillman of "Tin House" magazine, "Gods and Soldiers" features many
pieces never before published, making it a vibrant and essential
glimpse of Africa as it enters the twenty-first century.
