"Sexual harrassment, poetry, the loss of racial privilege... it's all here. Oh, and guess what? It won the Booker. Coetzee is also a Nobel Prize laureate."
"A novel set in Belgian Congo in 1959, written by an American author, The Poisonwood Bible tells the story of a despotic missionary and his daughters."
"Another book that isn't strictly African, as it is written by a Swede. A very interesting but also very disturbing account of colonial crimes against humanity."
