From the already-behind 2014-Novel-a-Month category:
Dust by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor [read full enthusiastic NYT review here]:
In 2011, writing in the Book Review about a memoir by Binyavanga Wainaina, Alexandra Fuller opened with a marvelous plea: “Harried reader, I’ll save you precious time. Skip this review and head directly to the bookstore.”Harried reader, skip this one, too, and go buy Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor’s “Dust.” In this dazzling novel you will find the entirety of human experience — tearshed, bloodshed, lust, love — in staggering proportions.
