I came across this piece in Granta. It is right to the point and says as much about the current debate on Africa as it does on writing….a must read. Enjoy!

That was a very funny but interesting article. I must say it has a lot of truths to it, sadly. I was overseas, and i’m glad to say that there are people from the West who know what the real Africa is like and don’t get questions like “do you see lions or gorillas everyday”. I’m from Namibia and the first time i saw a lion was at a zoo in Washington DC.
Reply to NdapewaI have no problems with bringing out the negative side of Africa evry society has its own shortcomings however good writing should be balanced and able to present both sides good and bad, negative and positive, failures and success that is where our efforts more than ever should be placed.
