After centuries of being confined to a cramped corner of the literary world—to being described by explorers, tourists, journalists, and activists—African writers discuss what it means to tell their own stories, in their own words and languages, and the journey their work takes to arrive in print, at home and abroad. Lesley Nneka Arimah's 'What It Means When A Man Falls From the Sky' is "completely captivating…whether you're in Nigeria or Chicago" (Ebony); Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi's 'Kintu' has been called "a masterpiece of cultural memory" (Publishers Weekly), and Sarah Ladipo Manyik...

A fall interrupts her independence and forces her to become dependent on others, which exposes to the reader a hidden loneliness to her cheer and allows Morayo to r...
