75 New and Upcoming Sci-Fi and Fantasy Works From African Authors

"Sci-fi and fantasy readers, don't miss out on the amazing new literature from African authors who continue to shape these genres in fascinating and innovative ways.
For a quick primer on the latest speculative fiction from the continent, Goodreads asked Dr. Ainehi Edoro-Glines, founder and editor in chief of Brittle Paper, to recommend new sci-fi and fantasy reads. Edoro-Glines, who teaches African literature and digital culture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, enlisted the help of author Wole Talabi (Incomplete Solutions) to create this list of 75 novels. All of these books were published since 2018, with the one exception of 2017's After the Flare, which Edoro-Glines felt would be a shame not to recommend to her fellow readers.
If you want to learn more about African literature in general, check out the online literary magazine Brittle Paper. You can follow them on their Instagram account as well!"
