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.
Sekarang, saya cukup bersedia untuk berpendapat bahwa ada sejumlah hal yang salah dengan novel saya, dan dalam beberapa hal telah gagal. Tetapi saya belum pernah membayangkan bahwa novel saya gagal dalam mencapai sesuatu yang disebut keaslian Afrika.
