6/26/2023 0 Comments Americanah ngozi![]() ![]() In Nigeria, I was Igbo and Roman Catholic, and even then, growing up on a genteel university campus, neither had a significant bearing on the way I moved through the world. Had I been raised in eastern or southern Africa, with their own insidious inheritances of history, perhaps I might have thought of myself in terms of skin color. I had never before thought of myself as “Black” I did not need to, because while British colonialism in Nigeria left many cursed legacies in its wake, racial identity was not one of them. ![]() It was not a choice-my chocolate-colored skin saw to that-but a revelation. ![]() This article is adapted from the introduction to the forthcoming tenth-anniversary edition of Americanah. ![]() 6/25/2023 0 Comments One Brother Shy by Terry Fallis![]() President, I didn’t quite get all of… um… any of that.” His snoring sounds a lot like an industrial wood-chipper, or three.

The sniper aims to wound not kill, at least at first, and he certainly gets the attention of the police. Seven Days is basically a police procedural with a countdown, as a sniper starts taking daily shots at policemen, demanding they arrest the person responsible for the murder of Hanneke Sloet, a case that officially has not been solved.

6/24/2023 0 Comments Annihilation jeff vandermeer![]() ![]() ![]() The biologist chokes down her suspicions and concurs with the psychologist that they should continue the expedition, but adds that "her pointed stare to the surveyor made it clear to both of them that we would revisit the issue of the anthropologist later" (39). The biologist isn't sure whether to believe the psychologist or not, but is torn between expressing her suspicion and risking a breakdown in order that may impede their expedition and her desire to explore the tower, which she has committed herself to doing before leaving Area X. The psychologist offers the explanation that late last night, the anthropologist expressed fear of what lies within the structure and decided to leave Area X and return a partial report to their superiors. She and the surveyor demand from the psychologist, who the biologist observes seems shaken, "as if she hadn't slept," to know where the anthropologist has gone (37). Her positivity quickly breaks down when she discovers that the anthropologist is gone. She wonders whether these could be possible effects of the spores but says, "I felt so refreshed that I didn't really care" (37). Section 02, titled "Integration," begins with the biologist's description of waking up the morning after the exploration of the tower structure feeling unusually refreshed and with heightened senses. ![]() 6/24/2023 0 Comments The world and me![]() ![]() ![]() He also mentions learning codes of the streets in order to survive.
