Issue 03

Editors’ Note

In our third issue, you’ll find our first stab at publishing criticism that engages with African writing today via one of its most recognisable awarding platforms. Published before that platform announced its current honoree, the piece accurately predicted the outcome. But there are no literary prizes for prophecy, so the piece’s real value is its seriousness, its commitment to critical thought, an almost lost art in contemporary literary discourse.

As with our first two editions, Efiko 3 also presents great poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, all of which are concerned with Africa as place and perspective.
