The Fortunes of Wangrin by Amadou Hampaté Bâ
In this world of ours, however, bright days are followed by somber nights. And so it happened that great sorrow spread throughout the land. All the same, a particular event does sometimes bear different consequences for different people.
Malian writer Amadou Hampaté Bâ in 1973 crafted The Fortunes of Wangrin from oral traditions. A biography of an African man called Wangrin and his machinations in the colonial French civil service and as a businessman gaining influence becoming a folk hero conning the rich to give to the poor. Albeit while still recruiting the latter for his own means and extensively lining his own pockets before a reversal of fortunes. Amadou Hampaté Bâ’s own forward and afterword giving context perhaps puts the answer to the question of who was Wangrin best: “A complex of contradictions”. The book artful in its entertaining storytelling is perhaps though most important for the experienced eye of the author on colonialism and traditional African cultures. As such the English edition translated by Aina Pavolini Taylor includes copious footnotes in the back. Useful also is the introduction by academic Abiola Irele. Yet it is too bad recognition of The Fortunes of Wangrin these days appears more relegated to college curriculum or global literature reading initiatives. As an award-winning classic African Francophone book, just the same neither could I pass it over for my own Francophone Writers from 50+ Lands project.
The Fortunes of Wangrin by Amadou Hampaté Bâ is available in English, translated by Aina Pavolini Taylor, in print from Indiana University Press

The King Loves: Recovery - [ ONE ] (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/UiNb/dSg7DyVk5G Ever wondered what occurred off-screen between Wang Rin's fall from the cliff and his reappearance with Eun San for their final farewell? This story details that brief period of time, as San and Rin aid one another in recovering from wounds, new and old, to come to terms with who they are and what they have become to one another.
@shipperholic-me @fierce-ramyun READ THIS OMO!!!

175+ non-Western literature recommendations to diversify your academia, organized by continent + country
I love world literature, and I’ve been frustrated by the lack of representation of it in literature + academia communities on tumblr, so here are some recommendations. I haven’t read all of these myself yet, but the ones I have are excellent and the ones I haven’t come highly recommended from Goodreads and are on my to-read list!
With the exception of anthologies of older works, all of these books were written before 2000 (some literally thousands of years earlier), since I’m less familiar with super contemporary literature. Also, I only included each writer once, though many of them have multiple amazing books. I’m sure there are plenty of incredible books I’m missing, so please feel free to add on to this list! And countries that aren’t included absolutely have a lot to offer as well--usually, it was just hard to find books available in English translation (which all of the ones below are.)
List below the cut (it’s my first post with a cut so let’s hope I do it right... and also warning that it’s super long)

May 2023
Well, we’re 12 issues deep and almost marking a year since DC’s Poison Ivy comic series started. Now the first 6 issues are out too in a collected edition. This first arc dubbed The Virtuous Cycle is a rough road trip with Pam. Especially in the first few issues. Which meant I haven’t been following the comic like I normally would. But it has issue by issue grown. It’ll be interesting to see where the ongoing series continues to go. Next month is Pride. DC too has another themed anthology due out to mark it, which will also feature Ivy.
Further I’ll be posting in June about several LGBTQIA+ books.
Read for May:
The Blue Line by Ingrid Betancourt
LGBTQ+ Characters in Comics from the 21st Century
The Fortunes of Wangrin by Amadou Hampaté Bâ
The Orchid and the Lion and The Lion and the Dahlia by Gabriel Hargrave

O mânes des miens ancêtres
« Insufflez en moi la douceur et la tendresse de l'agneau qui me permettront de plaire à tous et de mieux réaliser mes affaires.
« Mais aussi, grands ancêtres ! guerriers farouches ! armez-moi des griffes du lion et du léopard afin que je puisse déchirer sans pitié et sans quartier ceux qui se mettraient en travers de ma route et qui chercheraient à faire dévier le cours de mes gains vers une caisse autre que la mienne… »
(Amadou Hampaté Bâ, L'étrange destin de Wangrin)

The King Loves: Shelter My Heart - 15: Forever with you. (Final Chapter) (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/UiNb/IDrEtkQhkH Under orders of the crowned prince, Wang Rin was to shadow Lady San while she seeks serenity in the country after her fathers sudden passing. A simple task that unexpectedly turned sour. As they traveled quietly on the road to their destination, they encountered a band of thieves; they fought valiantly but there was just too many. Rin and San fled into the woods in attempts to lose the ruffians within the trees. They ultimately succeed but also succeeded in getting lost themselves. Night comes quickly and they need to find shelter from the bitter cold. Alone and in the glow of the campfire Rin and San must withstand the elements...and the relentless whispers of their hearts. But...that is just the beginning
