The First Book Welcomes 2026 | An Image of Africa
This year, the goal is to read 📖 Physical Books a month. This is the first book of the year.
Actually, it's been pickled since last year. I have to return the book to the library. 🤣 I'll review it.
📚 An Image of Africa and The Trouble with Nigeria
✍️ Chinua Achebe.
Includes critical articles of famous Nigerian writers.
The first article is a harsh critique of Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness, how it is full of racism, glorifying white people using Africa as a backdrop, ignoring African humanity or civilization at all.
The second article is a return look at their own countries, how they have problems (bad leaders + corruption), and a call for people to solve domestic problems.
We haven't finished reading the second article yet, 😑 but it feels that his article takes a lot more energy to read than fiction, uses a bit of difficult language 🤯 (but is always very good at it), reads more and more, and is a point that is not difficult to understand.
This time I started to love the work of writers from the African side because last year I visited that area, which is different in each country, but there are many things similar to Thailand, especially the issue 🤭, which makes it difficult for us to read and relate.
This year to try to read the books of writers in other countries. 🫡 Which friends have a guide book to exchange ideas? 🤓
