"Scholars of contemporary anglophone African fiction will be grateful to Madhu Krishnan for balancing close readings of a number of significant texts with careful attention to their conditions of publication and reception. Krishnan illuminates both the ethical and aesthetic concerns of important world writers and the conditions under which works marked as 'African' enter the world." - Andrew van der Vlies, Queen Mary University of London, UK
'...it address abroad range of issues and questions which shape the way that Africa is performed on a global stage, thus, highlighting the contradictions and continuities of transnational literary production.' - Pan African Studies
