Six novels, four essays, a book of poetry, another of travels and one of short stories are the proposals related to the continent that we have discovered in bookstores in recent months. A considerable number of books by African authors have been made available to the public so far this year.

Some publishers have made the effort to translate writers who normally do not reach Spanish bookstores. Something very laudable, since it helps to understand what happens beyond the physical and mental borders of the West. It is not normal to be able to read a writer from Mauritius in Spanish. A stranger in Goa, by José Eduardo Agualusa, never disappoints.
