Nuruddin Farah : Voice of the Nation

Post by WiglessBidaar »

Among the scribes who dwell in the republic of letters Nuruddin Farah has always occupied a proud spot in my personal library. Novels like the Blood in the Sand trilogy are enough to make one forget momentarily just what a lot of wastrels the Somali race is and flash a gap toothed smile. Good to see the ink-stained scribbler flirting with the women of Norway:

And Qoroxeey, if he's not quite the voice of the nation then he's certainly its conscience, its memory, its pulsating heart.

Contest that walaal and you and I will have to wrestle.

Still doesn't work.

A stray question: Why does he glorify beastiality..err why does he make as beastiality is/was common among Somalis? Is it something that I missed or is he just delusional ols fart?

In no where does he glorify bestiality. It is unseemly, unSomali, unlike the camel drivers of Saudi Arabia about whom legend has it that the reason they wear flowing robes is because sheep can hear a zipper from a mile away.

A kiss upon your golden heart Sista!

I've profited more from Your Excellency than all these trousered apes combined. Tell me though my cupcake, how much is your dowry?

Farah
