      2 Ahmed refers to the ‘labyrinthine’ quality of A Naked Needle in Daybreak is Near, p. 96, whilst Wright alludes to Loyaan’s ignorance of the ‘labyrinthine passages of political life’ in The Novels of Nuruddin Farah, p. 45.

      3 Whereas Farah refers to 13 cells, Lewis maintains there were actually 14 in Barre’s Mogadiscio. Lewis, IM. 1994. Blood and Bone – The Call of Kinship in Somali Society. New Jersey: The Red Sea Press Inc., p. 156. This slippage is akin to the one Hawley identifies between the Group of 10 who are actually 11 in ‘Tribalism, Orality, and Postcolonial Ultimate Reality.’ Wright, D. (Ed.).
