Tade Thompson’s Rosewater / Wormwood trilogy is one of the few members of the *extremely* rare genre of “science fiction that acknowledges that the Hausa language exists”, a language with 50-80M speakers, and meaningful to me personally because my wife speaks it after her stint in Niger in the Peace Corps. These are hard to summarize; suffice to say “alien invasion via West Africa”, with a structure that is sometimes jarring and always engaging.
