Recensioni
Many of these stories felt to me as if Okorafor was taking on incident and turning it around and around then writing it from its many sides. I'm actually kind of amazed and thrilled by that, because it let me see things in so many different ways and got me thinking.
This collection is very much about women and their power. The sources of it, how people try to take it from them or erase it, and how women maintain it. One of my favorite stories was "The Palm Tree Bandit" about a woman to challenged cultural gender norms and inspired other women to do the same. I also really loved "The Carpet" and "The Baboon War" both of which Okorafor says were inspired by her own life. My favorite story was "On the Road" which was both terrifying and wonderful.
Okorafor takes you to Nigeria, in the past, the present, and the future. She introduces you to the people and lets you immerse yourself in the myths. You'll find your imagination flying like her windseekers even as you're troubled by the horrible truths that exist.
See? I said I'd be gushing. I loved the hell out of this book. I'll for sure be reading her other books.
