Wizard Of The Crow: Is The Longest Novel In An African Language
« on: September 13, 2006, 02:57 PM »

Ngugi wa'Thiongo's latest novel  Wizard of the Crow is going to be an international bestseller from all the indications I am seeing so far.

Quote
Ngugi worked on this novel for eight years, and it is the longest book in an African language, besides the Bible.

The only thing we know about the book is that it's (too) long.  Thanks for the warning, Orikinla.
