review of The Knight of the Necropolis or, Brood of the Witch-Queen

3 stars

it's a gothic horror novel that feels like the movies from the thirties to me. you know what will happen and most of the time you are not convinced of the effects, but the mood and setting is excellent. maybe a bit too much of a chain of episodes...

African History of Africa (2024, Ebury Publishing) 5 stars

review of An African History of Africa

5 stars

this book sets the record straight by telling the histories of africa in their own right, not as a footnote or mere challenge to people from outside.

Badawi is visiting and citing contemporary african historians and in this way exploring the (fragile?) self image of the continent.

fascinating read!
