Painfully the popular ones tend to sway in that direction. Personally I grew up on Hadley Chase novels, lol.
But you can check Wole Soyinka's classics. You wouldn't be disappointed. Distinctly African, minus the colonial effect.
Thank you! -- I will. Some (many) years ago I took graduate courses in comparative literature. The idea was to read material from different cultures--we read Japanese classics, Chinese classics, but nothing from the continent of Africa. I think the course of study would be different today.
