Congrats, Ms. Ekosso! I look forward to reading the book.

Congratulations to Rosemary Ekosso for her bold debut novel "House of Falling Women" and for its nomination for the Aidoo-Snyder Prize. I hope the jury will settle on it for their final choice. Though I haven't completed reading the work, I really admire its creative rendition of myth into modern reality in regards to gender relations in the early section of the story. The technique recalls to me that of "The Palm-wine Drinkard" by Amos Tutuola, except that Rose cleverly subverts myth to mirror contemporary reality. I would like to read the work piecemeal and enjoy it first - it seems to me that the work calls for that approach - rather than hurry through it and do an in-depth review. And I would encourage Cameroonian readers particularly, to pick up a copy, follow Rosemary's wonderful and exhilarating narrative, and support one of ours. This work is no ordinary three-month project and it's most fitting that we grasp and appreciate the writer's imagination, dedication and concerns, and give her critical support in regards to the prize and her next fictional project.
