Tade Thompson’s Making Wolf is spotted on this Africa Writes Back list (and he also makes an appearance in two other of the books mentioned!)
“In the midst of what can be called a literary renaissance, there is a plot twist, involving genre fiction (also known as popular fiction) slowly moving away from its “low-brow” reputation to take centre-stage in African literature.”
Media Diversified was founded in July 2013, it’s aim to diversify the UK’s media landscape and provide challenging and new content which advances the discourse around race, politics, identity, economics and popular culture.
Since then we have published articles such as “You can’t do that! Stories have to be about White people”, Writing and Reading While Black. Lessons learned, Book list for black girls: promoting self-love and empowering young black women, Why we need mirrors in literature, and ‘Her nose was straight with a soft tip at the end’ — Writing Race at School
On the 26th of March 2016, author Nikesh Shukla took on the challenge of naming 200+ books by writers of color on Twitter, in an effort to promote the visibility of writers of color. As a platform dedicated to this aim, we teamed up with Anand Madhvani and Sabeena Akhtar to collate that list and present the Media Diversified Library.
Rosarium's very own Tade Thompson's MAKING WOLF was included in this library. Thank you Media Diversified !
Thanks for adding Making Wolf by Tade Thompson to your “Africa writes back: 10 books to look out for” list, New African Magazine!
“With this new wave of genre fiction, African writers are shifting the lens through which these genres are traditionally viewed; while the novels enable readers to see the world in new, and different, ways. If you’re interested in trying something a little bit different, here’s my selection of 10 genre fiction novels by African writers to check out.”
Congratulations to Rosarian Tade Thompson;s “Making Wolf” for winning The Kitschies debut novel “Golden Tentacle” award!

“Psychedelically clowning with Margaret Atwood!“ Tade Thompson (whose book “MAKING WOLF” won the Golden Tentacle award at the Kitschies!) with Margaret Atwood, who won the Red Tentacle award!
Thanks for the review of “Making Wolf” by Tade Thompson! You can read it over on I Make Up Worlds.
“I often don’t feel I’m good at expressing my emotional experience of reading. I’m far more comfortable when analyzing structure or theme, while the core of this novel is its emotional, visceral ride. I was surprised at how engrossed I was in a story that in other hands I would probably have disliked. Thompson’s writing is absolutely solid, but it’s the clear-eyed, unblinking, harsh aesthetic he brings that sold me.“
