"most widely known novel to come out of Africa" [Citation needed]



Well, it is the only one I know of off the top of my head. And I've lived in Africa for close to two decades.

Granted, I'm not big into literature, so that may have something to do with it as well. Though I do view it as some sort of "cut-off" filter, anyways.


"Known by whom?", is what I should have asked. The claim makes assumptions about its audience that simply have no way of being substantiated.


I can't think of any other likely candidate for that "title".

And I'm into litterature. And I'm Francophone (which makes me more likely to consider non-anglophone litterature).
