Named after a collection of short stories, retelling the narrative, but told from the perspective of different background characters in Star Wars: A New Hope.

These are novels about that other perspective, and the novels that inspired them.

A list inspired by (and copied from) @cortneyhenningnovak, including (mainly) fiction reads from every country in alphabetical order! Any suggestions and add-ons welcome to expand the list🫶

11 countries including:

Afganistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria & Azerbaijan ❣️

books with themes around colonialism, coloniality and decolonialism, feel free to drop recommendations! this list is mainly focused on latin america, but there’s a few books from other places

Enjoy my newest lit series ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

Fiction books set in Algeria
