Reading Ankhesen

For those of you just tuning in, I'm an author.  I majored in the social and clinical sciences in college, rather than literature and creative writing (and yes...that was deliberate).  Anyhoo, I'm Ambazonian-American (or Cameroonian-American; whichever side you're on), so I don't dig heavily on the Hemingway, Whitman, or Thoreau. No, no...in my library you'll find the scribblings of Achebe, Darko, Oyono, Mama, Aidoo, Bebey, Thiong'o, Soyinka, the late great Jumbam, and the immortal Diop.  If these names don't ring a bell for you, that's okay.  *shrug*  To each her own.
