Queer Africa: Selected stories by Alistair Mackay, Karen Martin, Makhosazana Xaba

4.0

I was torn on my rating for this, but settled on 4/5 because 95% of this anthology is great and interesting. Each story has its distinct feel and it's really refreshing to read non-western queer stories. However the second to last story, "My Dad Forgot My Name?" by Victor Lewis, was very uncomfortable as it depicted an incestuous relationship between a son and his father. I feel like that story should come with a warning as it could be quite triggering for some people.
