Excellent shortlist. I'm rooting for Abidemi Sanusi to win :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I'm coming across this website in my search. This is an appeal to whoever is reading. I'm trying to do a paper that involves novels about mental illness in African literature. I've got only about two, but I need more,especially from contemporary writers outside West Africa.Would really appreciate some help.
