More quotes by Patrice Nganang

African families need family novels, Africans need diaries, badly. And since universities are places where you essentially learn archiving methods, why not apply it on yourself?

I think current African writers are not attuned to the shifts in grand narratives, and certainly not to the developments in theory. More and more young writers hate theory.

There is so much to tell. Go out there and experience the world and write about it. I also think African writers should do more research before writing a book.

When I disagree with a book, it simply slips out of my hands. I stop reading it without even noticing it, and it slips out of my mind.
