The bane of my literary existence! Oroonoko: The Royal Slave is a story about an African Prince who is tricked into slavery and taken to the Americas. His European features earned him a rank above the rest as a slave only in name. However, is the book a praise of African bravery, a mockery of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, or a mirror of the author’s true feelings ? This episode was done with my best friend, Molly, as my co-host. Thank you!
