The Binti Trilogy - Binti, Binti: Home, ...

E. Leikam, C. Klein
About this episode

Binti is the first of her people to leave her home and receive an education off-planet. In this trilogy of novellas (love that format) we follow Binti, a member of the mysterious Himba people who keep to themselves and preach a strict adherence to culture. This theme of culture comes up many times and is both a hindrance to some and for others the only reason they manage to survive some hairy situations. This award-winning novella series is an intelligent and interesting look into societies and the rules and customs that shape how we live our life and what we see as worthy pursuits. Join Evan and Chad as they bandy back and forth and enjoy not only the format and flow but also the scope of creativity and unique ideas presented in this series by the highly acclaimed, Nnedi Okorafo. As with any great story, however, it remains true that it is most enjoyed with company, so grab some coffee, pretend like you’re working and hit play for another exciting episode of Book Reviews Kill!
