A review by kristelwyman
Minutes of glory by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

3.0

I enjoyed the writing by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, though I found some of them more enjoyable than others. I think that overall, short stories just aren't for me, because by the time I get into them, they're over. I enjoy international reads, and particularly stories from beautiful Kenya. It's so interesting to hear about other types of experiences around the world and I suppose that's the nice thing about these short stories -- so many different experiences communicated. I just found some of the stories a bit slow, and I'm sure that part of that is just a different literary style than I'm used to, along with cultural differences in general. I really enjoyed the title story especially, and wished it was longer. I will certainly check out one of the novels by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o'.

I received an advanced release copy of this book from Netgalley -- thank you Netgalley!
