Incidentally I’ve just finished reading “My Fourth Time, We Drowned,” a masterclass in journalism, highlighting “the gap separating those who pay attention and those who do not have to.” This book should be taught in universities. Dakar, who wants first dibs on my copy? https://t.co/5k7YXTafwv

@annapmzn Have you read Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi? I recently read Transcendent Kingdom which was v good as well but Homegoing is an all-time fav. If you want more of an epic to sink your teeth into, The Shadow King?
