Leesbaar'Fata Morgana' van Chika Unigwe met Anthony NtiIn deze aflevering vertelt Anthony Nti over 'Fata Morgana' van Chika Unigwe. Het boek gaat over dromen van een beter leven, en over hoe die dromen langzaam kunnen verschuiven of breken. Wat Nti vooral intrigeert, is het idee van het slachtoffer dat dader wordt, en vervolgens iemand anders hetzelfde laat meemaken. Een confronterende cirkel. Hij vertelt ook hoe hij als kind samenvattingen moest maken voor zijn ouders en zo leerde lezen, denken en verhalen écht verwerken.

Something BookishEp 3: The 7 Best Short Story Collections I've Ever ReadIn this episode, I share seven short story collections that I 've enjoyed over the last five years. I think short stories have one certain benefit: they are short. And “short” doesn’t only mean the number of words or characters. It also means the fast pace, the single-minded plot, and the concise form.
Also, I think it's a good way to bring back the habit of daily reading. Don't you think?
