Now, I was quite willing to contend that there were a number of things wrong with the novel, that it had failed in a number of places, but I had not quite imagined that it had failed at achieving something called African authenticity.
Jeg var villig til å innrømme at det var flere ting som var galt med novellen, og jeg hadde feilet på flere steder. Men jeg hadde ikke forestillet meg at jeg feilet i oppnå afrikansk autentisitet.
