Post any African literature you have read. I'll start. The Palm-Wine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola. A fantastic piece of African magical realism. One of the most surrealist pieces one could ever read.

Here's a favorite line from the book:

"Now by that time and before we entered inside the white tree, we had ‘sold our death’ to somebody at the door for the sum of £70: I8:6d and ‘lent our fear’ to somebody at the door as well on interest of £3:I0:0d per month, so we did not care about death and we did not fear again."

Picrel is a good read. Also acts as an interesting introduction of African anthropolgy, as well. >>202

Although it's worth noting that it isn't written by Africans and the myths are largely taken from anthropolgy papers. It gives a very good insight into Pagan African culture and how migrations and hunter-gatherer cultures really shaped the continent.

Thanks for the suggestion anon. I'll go find it in the wild and get my hands on a copy. African paganism has some of the strangest stories that I would love to read.
