How to Write about Africa - Binyavanga Wainaina

The first time I read the essay ‘How to Write about Africa’ I was literally squirming in my seat in an exquisite mixture of awe, embarrassment and resisting the urge to laugh out loud at it’s dry, satirical tone.

Wainaina was that rare mix of beautiful writing, brutal insight and deep thinker. This book, his collected writings’, is perfect from start to finish.
