It is aimed at helping readers stay current on new, exciting and noteworthy African books. It also conveys the diversity of African writing in English. In 2022, 23 countries were represented, including Djibouti and Burkina Faso, for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Featured writers include familiar names, such as Tsitsi Dangaremgba, Nnedi Okorafor, Sofia Samatar and Niq Mhlongo, as well as brand-new voices such as Noor Naga, Eloghosa Osunde and Okwirri Oduor.<\/p>\n<p>The list also offered a unique perspective into major trends in African literature. For example, it confirmed the hunch that, over the last few years, women have become more visible in the African literary space and this trend is not slowing down.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty of the 100 books on the list are debut books. From this we know that the culture is getting a good bit of fresh blood, which might also mean African literary culture is expanding in the direction of new, emerging voices as opposed to older, established writers.<\/p>\n<p>The diversity of genres and subject matter is stunning. The list features poetry, fiction and nonfiction but also crime thriller, travel memoir, romance fiction, speculative fiction and many more. There is something in there for everyone!<\/p>\n<p><b>The Scent of Burnt Flowers by Blitz Bazawule, published by Ballantine<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bazawule\u2019s debut is the story of a young black couple who end up in Nkrumah\u2019s Ghana while on the run from killing a white man in Alabama.<\/p>\n<p><b>These Impossible Things by Salma El-Wardany, published by Grand Central Publishing &amp; Trapeze Books<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In El-Wardany\u2019s debut novel, three women share an experience that shakes their relationships with each other and threatens their bond.<\/p>\n<p><b>Vagabonds!
