I’m trying to find books which touch Eritrea. The first one on your reading list should be ‘Towards Asmara’ by Thomas Keneally.
I’ll leave it to the New York Times Book Review, who has probably read more books than I have: “Not since For Whom the Bell Tolls has a book of such sophistication, the work of a major international novelist, spoken out so unambiguously on behalf of an armed struggle.’
I wonder how Mr Keneally feels about Eritrea now?
