À propos de cet audio

By fate and fire, a being four millennia old is reborn in Mali in a short story of contemporary African life and ancient secrets by the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Binti trilogy.

Issaka has returned home to Timbouctou and a devastating al-Qaeda raid. His only hope for survival is Faro, a stunning, blue-beaded supernatural entity who rises free from the flames of her imprisoning book as it burns. Compelled to follow Faro, Issaka is opening his eyes to their shared history and the ancestral wisdom of his own past.

Nnedi Okorafor’s The Black Pages is part of Black Stars, a multi-dimensional collection of speculative fiction from Black authors. Each story is a world much like our own. Read or listen to them in a single sitting.

The Black Pages (Black Stars #2) follows a supernatural being named Issaka that has been released from their prison after a book they were in somehow is set aflame. From there we have Issaka revealing things and eventually running into a young man named Faro who is dealing with the death of his family, but has something that Issaka needs.

The beginning of the story seemed confusing and disjointed. As things progress it begins to make more sense, but it doesn't make up for the confusion since it's so short at the beginning. The premise was interesting but the execution seemed lacking.

Really Interesting!

I have yet to read a bad story by Okorafor ! This short story intertwines artificial intelligence, ancient scholarship, libraries, urban architecture in the historic Malian civilization, and contemporary geopolitics! I desperately hope this story becomes a novel because I did not want it to end. Highly recommended!!

Another AMAZING story by Okorafor
