As some might have guessed, my next novel will take place entirely in Africa, specifically in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. While I didn’t choose this setting to be political, it’s turning out to be.
In this time of hyperbolic nationalism, the maniacal “us” versus “them,” I think it’s crucial to embrace the world as much as ourselves.
Oh, I realize that this is nothing but a drop in the bucket of what needs to be said and done, but it is my drop and I will be proud of it.
Until tomorrow…
