Book excerpt: A highly original, insightful, thought-provoking and enjoyable novelKashim I. Tala, VC. American Institute of CameroonAn exciting, inspiring, and much anticipated novelAfrica Positive Magazine, GermanyWith her second novel Angri, Priscillia M. Manjoh fashions a contemporary narrative style that, not unlike Voltaires satirical eighteenth-century Candide: Or Optimism, straddles tonalities of epic and realist literaturea style she calls faction, a mix of fact and fiction. Moving through the landscape of her troubled, and traumatised country in Africa, the protagonist, Joey Muki, tries to make sense of division, disaster and atrocity, all the while working towards encouraging emerging solidarities, addressing justice and responsibility. Amidst the debris of armed insurrection, violence, and arrogance, Angri is about the will of women to act on their political cultures and social livelihoods.Dr. Norman Saadi Nikro, Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin Germany Priscillia M. Manjoh was born and raised in Cameroon and presently resides in Berlin Germany.
