A review by dessa
The Tomorrow-Tamer by Margaret Laurence

3.0

Really neat to read some Laurence, because I haven’t read much of her. Neat to read these stories about an era I’m not familiar with — the British pulling out of Ghana — and interested to read them as Laurence, too, pulling out of Africa — realizing that she can’t understand the subject matter as well as, well, an African. Still tender, though, and man — she writes like a whip cracking, like a mist rising out of the ground slower than you can see until it’s inexplicably all around you.
