The Politics of Imagining, Subversively and Otherwise

No doubt, I remain an avid reader of the works of Bessie Head and those who critically engage her novels. See the highly academic work, _Living on a Horizon: Bessie Head and the Politics of Imagining_**, by Desiree Lewis, one of my very own authors. A fairly recent article in African Studies Review (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa4106/is_200804/ai_n27997181/pg_1) underscores not only the subversive relevance of Bessie Head, but also the beautiful critical mind of Lewis herself.

**I've also been informed that the book has been nominated for an award in South Africa. We await even better news.
