Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James

2.0

Refreshing to read a tale soaked in the mythology of Africa, as most of the stories I read descend from the Britannic/Norse/Greek strains. Gripped by the writing and pace. A third of the way into the story I was overwhelmed by descriptive, non-stop violence and sex - the two often blurred together - and I put the book down.
