Serena's Reviews > Passage of Tears

Very much in agreement with all the other reviews here - glad to have found a novel by a Djibouti-born author readily available, a couple of interesting bits eg references to Djibouti’s [historical] relations with France and the story of the Bab el Mandeb but overall the writing is really on the harder side to follow. A lot of the content does not really have a plot, the voices are quite manic and completely agree that the Walter Benjamin sections are completely u explained how they are supposed to fit into the plot and also quite disjointed.
