We’re seeing more books in English that depart - and expand - the western/European/Christian canon of fiction that feels very narrow in today’s day and age. This is especially true for fantastic fiction, and today we talk of two books that stretch the boundaries to India and Africa, and show just how the fantastic fits in with a new set of values - and a new set of readers.
This is episode #21 of Bookasur, talking about ghosts in walls, post-modern vs modern horror, unnerving folk tales, epic cities and a girl made of water.
Books featured:
Ringa Ringa Roses, by Neil D’Silva
Black Leopard, Red Wolf, by Marlon James, by Hamish Hamilton/Penguin
