I was fascinated by Aminatta Forna’s keynote speech at the conference Transnational Literature and Writing: Follow the Sun (2021). This creative-critical and personal letter addressed to Aminatta Forna is a response to her keynote speech about the transnational writer.
Keywords: Aminatta Forna; transnational writers; Third Culture Literature
