Name your favorite somali writers

Post by michaelwy »

Dear somali net members, I am new to your forum. I just joined. I amnot sure if i posting this right.
I am interested in what kind of literature Somalis enjoy reading. I have a blog where i write about such things, most recently at
http://historyradio.org/2017/12/10/soma ... -in-ruins/
I plan to do more stories on Somali and African literature, but first i need some more information.

I tried making a post earlier, but it seemed to vanish. Could you please help me out by naming your favorite somali piece of fiction. Then i coudl have a look at the various titles and perhaps to a story on one or two of the writers.
Best regards
Michael
