3/5

This trio of sharp-witted essays takes irony to a new level.

In 'How to Write About Africa', Wainaina dissects the cliché of Africa and the preconceptions dear to western writers and readers with ruthless precision.

In the same fashion, ‘My Clan KC’ undre.

How stupid this cover! How terribly stupid!.

Sharp-witted and sarcastic look at how Africa is viewed by the rest of the world. This collection of essays made me laugh at how wrong Eurocentric views of Africa are.

On point. A must read.
