Today I want to take a break from Darfur and request a book that has stories from another time of turmoil in Africa. For one of my other classes, Literature and Law, we are reading a series of short stories by Nadine Gordimer titled, "Jump and Other Short Stories." All of the short stories discuss tales that occur in or have reference to Africa. Some of my favorites are "The Ultimate Safari" and "A Find." All of the stories capture aspects of Africa and the African culture that bring it alive. Many of the stories are from times during and the aftermath of wars of the 90's. I highly suggest reading the book. For more information about the book and reviews visit this Amazon.com website.
