sfujii 's review for:
We Need New Names
by NoViolet Bulawayo
Not sure how to feel about this one. There were parts that were so beautiful and powerfully written. Especially having just read GoW, I could make a lot of connections between the descriptions of the experience of being an outsider/foreigner. The narrative of this was just a bit too jumpy for me. I suppose each episode contributed to the overall narrative, but they were just so random (to me). The chapters and sections that were beautiful were really powerful, and I guess that would make this more of a 3.5 stars for me.
