Review: Poetry, photographs, essays and art reviews make Freda Epum’s fizzy memoir ‘The Gloomy Girl Variety Show’ a structural delight, writes Harare Review of Books (formerly @shonareads) continent.substack.com/p/review-gloom…

My fave weekly fix of the very best African journalism The Continent has released a very interesting Special Edition. I like it when a team says they're taking a publishing break to focus on the plans for world domination. Simon Allison pls "Lend us your brain" too 😌
