Told by Starlight in Chad


#369
Title: Told by Starlight in Chad
Author: Joseph Brahim Seid
Translator: Karen Haire Hoenig
Year: 2007
Publisher: Africa World Press, Inc.
Country: Chad
81 pages

Seid recreates fables--some religious, some moral, some just stories--from his native Chad. They were pleasant to read, and gave some background of the Chadian people. They are probably better heard than read. I wasn't especially engaged by this, but it was a nice change of pace.
