Who reads Somali literature here?

[BANTU]

I'm looking for suggestions. Not really looking for online sources but hard copy books. Either fiction or history.

Much appreciated.

[Xooshdheere]

are you a bantu, madow mareykan, on a somali forum asking for somali literature, with a link to some arab man singing habesha song?

well... you should read Saxarla by Faarax Maxamud Maxamed

 

[Zailah]

Crossroads by Nuruddin Farah is one I plan to read

Since you're the only suggestion I will buy this book. But why do you like it?What's it about?

Thank you, but I should've mentioned I would like Somali language literature.

Unless Nurrudin wrote this one in English and Somali. That would be dope!

I don’t think so. The only reason why there aren’t many Somali language literature novels are because the writing system was only was created in 1972 and 18 years later the war started. There are a small number of Somali novelists like Nadifa Mohamed and Nurruddin Farah but even they don’t write in Somali.

If you are looking for romantic, nostalgic or as somalis say 'berisamaad', i would suggest a book calles MAANA FAAY. Its about a boy and a girl from xamar who fell in love in kacaan era of somalia. Really good book.


Other book i would suggest is AYAAN DARAN. Its about a girl who give her cookie once and gets pregnent out of wedlock. The story takes place in somalia so its fucking that drama shit.
