• Review of Your Madness, Not Mine: Stories of Cameroon by Makuchi
  Copy of a review I wrote for the email listserv, H-Afrlitcine in Oct/Nov 1999. Yes, yes, I know there are a few typos and awkward phrases that remain - and I also realize that I do precisely that which I laud Briere [who wrote the introduction] for not doing. Oh well, I was cutting my milk teeth. The link above leads to the H-Net version of the review. Click here, or visit Big Daddy's Bookstore, if you're interested in purchasing Makuchi's work.

• Review of Make It Sing & Other Poems by Marjorie O. Macgoye and Crackle at Midnight by Lupenga Mphande
  Another review I wrote, this one for the journal of our Department of African Literature and Languages here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Voices: The Wisconsin Review of African Literatures. It appeared in the second issue of that journal, Fall 1999. Over-wrought and over-written but it's done.

• Websites are nothing if not self-promotional. Therefore, keeping to form, I offer my curriculum vitae (in html - with links to all publications and other resources).

And finally...
