Description of The God Who Begat a Jackal


Nega Mezlekia is a new and exciting talent. His first novel is both magical and lyrical, set in a timeless vision of Africa, it is steeped in folklore and mythology. The ethnic, religious and class struggles of pre-colonial Africa form a vivid backdrop to a story of forbidden love between a slave and his mistress.
