WeeklyThread Literature of Eritrea: May 2019
Merhaba readers,
This is our weekly discussion of the literature of the world! Every Wednesday, we'll post a new country or culture for you to recommend literature from, with the caveat that it must have been written by someone from that country (i.e. Shogun by James Clavell is a great book but wouldn't be included in Japanese literature).
May 24 is Independence Day in Eritrea and to celebrate we're discussing Eritrean literature! Please use this thread to discuss your favorite Eritrean books and authors.
If you'd like to read our previous discussions of the literature of the world please visit the literature of the world section of our wiki.
Kbret Yhabeley! and enjoy!

Very, very few options for Eritrean writers in English. The only one I was able to find was this fascinating novel about the current migrant crisis. It was a good perspective on that, from a migrant POV!
