This afternoon, as I was thinking about what I wanted to read next, I thought I’d check to see if Andrew Brown had written any new books since the last one I read and loved (Street Blues: The Experirences of a Reluctant Policeman). Andrew Brown is a South African writer, published by South African publishers, and unfortunately, that does mean his work is unavailable in the U.S. except for two books on the Kindle. But for those of you who have a Kindle, and who are interested in Africa, I would strongly recommend both of those books–the one I already mentioned and Inynezi, a love story set during the Rwandan genocide. Good stuff.
