New in August: One Day I Will Write About This Place and Beautiful Unbroken

One Day I Will Write About This Place by Binyavanga Wainaina

"Although written by an East African and set in East and Southern Africa, Wainaina's book is not just for Afrophiles or lovers of post-colonial literature. This is a book for anyone who still finds the nourishment of a well-written tale preferable to the empty-calorie jolt of a celebrity confessional or Swedish mystery."

“It is tempting to relax and allow the music of Nealon’s prose to carry one’s mind lightly over the gentle caress of her words and phrases . . . . But to do so would be to miss the raw power of her story. . . . This is no ordinary medical memoir about the grueling journey through school, midnight shifts on wards, and encounters with dying patients. It is a song to caregiving.”
