Marathi
Rajeshwari Pandharipande
Friends who’ve shared a room with me told me how I speak Marathi in my sleep. I haven’t made much effort over the years but immersed in Shahu Patole’s amazing book on caste & food + Delighted that my favorite writer Leila Aboulela is in Marathi❤️ #InternationalMotherLanguageDay https://t.co/awfeIU4mCF

Blackass
A. Igoni Barrett
When the novel Blackass by A. Igoni Barrett is mentioned, Kafka's Metamorphosis is the first utterance. Reviews of Mohsin Hamid's latest do the same. The men wake up changed, there's no bugs, genres are diff, so the comparison is weak. Why is a European classic always a parent?

The Last White Man
Mohsin Hamid
My essay on two novels critics have loved to hate this season: Chinelo Okparanta’s Harry Sylvester Bird & Mohsin Hamid’s The Last White Man. I ask why these writers w/ migrant background wanted to enter the psyches of white, liberal men! https://t.co/iN2vdttgHI @africasacountry

Glory
Noviolet Bulawayo
I can confidently say that @farahbakaari is one of maybe three people who carefully read and thought about @TheBookerPrizes nominee NoViolet Bulawayo's Glory. Note that her review doesn't begin nor end with a reference to Orwell. https://t.co/8EO9NAVbAZ @africasacountry

Professing Criticism: Essays on the Organization of Literary Study

City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles
Mike Davis
Mike Davis 🖤 rest in power. His book City of Quartz stunned me and altered my thinking about the world and about how you write about the world. There isn’t a work by him that I haven’t loved since. A brilliant thinker, stylish writer and always morally uncompromising.
