Why read it?
1 author picked Mothersound as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This rare anthology is distinct in its focus on music and sound magic and the languages of Mother Africa, as authors of African descent take their imagination to the furthermost reaches, with short stories and accompanying stimulating illustrations.
Mothersound brings together years of worldbuilding through Afrocentric stories set in the SauĂștiverse, with its vision to "create a space for African and African diaspora writers and creators to collaborate and share fantastical ideas."
From Eugen's list on cultural anthologies in speculative fiction.
