2、alked a lot about the weather, despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. We ate mangoes, and we never talked about the weather. Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign, I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them. Things changed wh
3、en I discovered African books. Because of writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye, I went through a_mental_shift in my idea of literature.

9、 what if my mother had told us that Fides family was poor but hardworking? What if we had an African television network that broadcast diverse African stories all over the world? What if my roommate knew about my Nigerian publisher, Muhtar Bakare, a remarkable man who left his job in a bank to follo
