What's new?
What I wrote about before writing novels …
In my previous life I was a foreign correspondent. Going through a cupboard, I’ve just found a very, very old long article/diary I wrote while working in Africa, maybe in 1991, about a whole country full of lost, frightened people looking for a home – the aid workers no less than the people they were supposed to be aiding. Writing it, as I now recall, helped show me how lonely I also was in Africa. Here it is.
