?.An expansive, eclectic, and innovative novel.Women's Review of BooksA modernday Things Fall Apart, The Amputated Memory explores the ways in which an African womans memory preserves, and strategically forgets, moments in her tumultuous past as well as the cultural past of her country, in the hopes of making a healthier future possible.Pinned between the political ambitions of her philandering father, the colonial and global influences of encroaching and exploitative governments, and the traditions of her Cameroon village, Halla Njok recalls childhood traumas and reconstructs forgotten experiences to reclaim her sense of self. Winner of the Noma Awardprevious honorees include Mamphela Ramphele, Ngugi wa Thiongo, and Ken SaroWiwaThe Amputated Memory was called by the Noma jury a truly remarkable achievement . . . a deeply felt presentation of the female condition in Africa; and a celebration of women as the countrys memory.
