Petina Gappah

My second encounter of Petina Gappah (after the Storymoja Hay Festival last year) came by RFI's show, Voices, tonight, where she talked about her Guardian First Book Award collection of short stories; An Elegy for Easterly.

I haven't read it. I chose Vikram Seth's, Two Lives at the festival simply because it was cheaper and I'd heard of him before. But after having heard snippets of her short stories on air, being curious about 'African writing' and LOVING short story collections, it should be the very next book I buy :) Watch this space for a review.
