Ideas: About Comoros: A Fish Caught in Time: The Search for the Coelacanth (the author spent half a year in Comoros plus two additional visits of unknown length).
By a Comorian: Une suite à Moroni Blues (available at amazon.fr).
does anyone know if the moroni blues book has been translated into other languages? i can't seem to find anything. i can't do french, but i could do german.
Hi, I've been away from the group for ages as work has been a bit mad recently. Determined to tackle Africa in my reading in 2010. Did anyone read A Fish Caught in Time? I've just ordered it from Amazon for a penny plus postage.
I haven't gotten a copy yet but plan to...i think the group is in Chad through December and then it's on to Comoros...unless i'm not remembering my alphabets, which could very well be the case! :D
I've read A Fish Caught in Time and thought it was very interesting. I'll also read Une suite à Moroni Blues, but slowly and next to the French dictionary.
For Comoros, we could also read "Last of the Pirates" by Samantha Weinberg. Or "Human Spirits A Cultural Account of Trance in Mayotte" by Michael Lambek.Any thoughts on preference or availability?
I'd assume non-fiction, since that's her genre. Mayotte is one of the Comoros islands, but it's a French possession, not part of the country Comoros.
Do people want to vote or shall we just read "A Fish Caught in Time", which sounds quite interesting?
