Starting early w/ Englebert des Collines (tagged is a different book by same author) for #FoodandLit #Rwanda b/c it's a library book & I don't like to keep them longer than necessary. Englebert, a Tutsi genocide survivor roaming the streets of Nyamata looking for drinks & conversation, told his story to Hatzfeld, a French journalist/novelist whose parents were Holocaust survivors.

Dilara I typically avoid stories written by Europeans on Global South countries, but this reads like a faithful transcript of Englebert's oral accounts, all in the 1st person, with a very distinctive voice. It feels respectful of both Englebert and Rwandans. 6d
Texreader April will be a depressing month for sure. Love how you used the daffodils as a pick me up. They‘re beautiful! Glad you found such a respectful book about the tragedy 6d
