Now, I was quite willing to contend that there were a number of things wrong with the novel, that it had failed in a number of places, but I had not quite imagined that it had failed at achieving something called African authenticity.
Iš tiesų buvau visai linkusi pripažinti, kad romanas nebuvo geras dėl daugelio dalykų, kad daugely vietų jis nepavyko, bet neįsivaizdavau, kad jis nepavyko nes nebuvo tuo, kas pavadinta afrikietiška autentika.
