HOW TO WRITE ABOUT AFRICA - BINYAVANGA WAINAINA...

A trailblazing collection of writing from Binyavanga Wainaina's extraordinary life 'In your
text  treat Africa as if it were one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and
huge herds of animals and tall  thin people who are starving. Or it is hot and steamy with very
short people who eat primates. Don't get bogged down with precise descriptions.' Binyavanga
Wainaina was a seminal author and activist  remembered as one of the greatest chroniclers of
contemporary African life. After his death in 2019  this ground-breaking collection brings
together his pioneering writing on the African continent for the first time. A rule-breaker
full of wry satire and piercing wisdom  this collection includes many of Binyavanga's most
critically acclaimed pieces  including the viral satirical sensation How to Write About Africa.
Writing fearlessly across a range of topics - from politics to international aid  cultural
heritage and redefining sexuality  this is a remarkable illustration of a writer at the height
of his power. FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY HIS LONG-TIME FRIEND CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE
