It is the fate of writers to be known by their readers almost in spite of themselves.
Conde's language, sensual and ironic, heartbreakingly beautiful, is a part of me.
Conde has been an extraordinary role model for me.
In What Is Africa to Me?, her autobiography, she recounts how the African continent, where she lived for so long...was a little like a great unrequited love, a passion not entirely reciprocated.
