Been waiting for this!I would like to nominate So Long a Letter by Mariama Bâ (1981)
- Modern Francophone classic from Senegal
- Under 100 pages in many English editions
- Possibly relevant for US Black History month in Feb, though I'm not quite sure (am in the UK not the US and UK BHM is in October) whether books from African countries count, or if it is about African-American and possibly other diaspora.
I will second The True Deceiver.
I'd like to second So Long A Letter, whether it "counts" for BHM or not, it's a book I've long wanted to read. I don't have anything else on the list to nominate, so I'll just second this month.
