THE STORY OF AN AFRICAN GAME is a ground-breaking book, the first to cover in detail the history and experiences of black African cricketers in South Africa. It is long overdue, coming 195 years after the first recorded game of cricket in this country was played at the Green Point Common, Cape Town, in 1808. This is a book that will forever change the way we look at South Africa's cricket history and help us understand where the game is heading in the future.

Excerpt from After Big Game: The Story of an African Holiday I have always been fond of Shooting, and during many years' residence in the Far East have had considerable experience with the Big Game there. But up to the time of the visit to Africa of which this book is the record, I had never been fortunate enough to be in a position to Shoot a lion, although most of the other Wild beasts commonly met with had come within range of my rifle. Naturally, I have always felt a desire to complete my experiences by adding to my collection of trophies that of the King of Beasts.

A game came out of Africa to the New World, an ancient game brought to the Caribbean sugarcane plantations by enslaved Africans in the seventeenth century. The game resembles a blend of cricket and baseball but is played with sticks. My brother and I learned the game when our family moved to a small sugarcane mill town in Cuba. There we met Don Manuel, an Afro-Cuban elder who worked as a security guard at the railroad yard. This narrative chronicles my coming of age in a unique hybrid culture while learning the ancient African game of Kimbumba and my childhood memories linked to Don Manuel's stories and teaching of the game. Don Manuel told us about the game's origins and the legend of its creator, Kimbu. The story has been passed down through oral tradition to generations of young African Congo villagers. I've always wanted to write about these pivotal years of my youth and tell the game's story, but more significantly, I've always wanted to share the stories that our Afro-Cuban friend told my brother and me. But life has a way of delaying our goals; thus, it has taken me nearly seventy years to write this narrative.Don Manuel's family roots are traced back to the African Congo, where they were abducted and brought to Cuba to work as enslaved people on sugarcane plantations. The story is his intimate account of their sacrifices to gain their freedom. He also taught us to play this ancient game, culminating in a blazing championship match in a sugarcane mill town. All of these experiences are woven into the tapestry of my youth. So, I have attempted to capture fleeting moments that might otherwise be lost in time, like raindrops in the ocean.

One of TIME’s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time Winner of the L.A. Times Ray Bradbury Prize Finalist for the 2019 National Book Award The New York Times Bestseller Named a Best Book of 2019 by The Wall Street Journal, TIME, NPR, GQ, Vogue, and The Washington Post "A fantasy world as well-realized as anything Tolkien made." --Neil Gaiman "Gripping, action-packed....The literary equivalent of a Marvel Comics universe." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times The epic novel from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History of Seven Killings In the stunning first novel in Marlon James's Dark Star trilogy, myth, fantasy, and history come together to explore what happens when a mercenary is hired to find a missing child. Tracker is known far and wide for his skills as a hunter: "He has a nose," people say. Engaged to track down a mysterious boy who disappeared three years earlier, Tracker breaks his own rule of always working alone when he finds himself part of a group that comes together to search for the boy. The band is a hodgepodge, full of unusual characters with secrets of their own, including a shape-shifting man-animal known as Leopard. As Tracker follows the boy's scent--from one ancient city to another; into dense forests and across deep rivers--he and the band are set upon by creatures intent on destroying them. As he struggles to survive, Tracker starts to wonder: Who, really, is this boy? Why has he been missing for so long? Why do so many people want to keep Tracker from finding him? And perhaps the most important questions of all: Who is telling the truth, and who is lying? Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both.
