“I think it’s really important that we read books and we read authors who aren’t similar to us, who are very different from us culturally, come from different backgrounds, different parts of the world.”
In this How To Write the Future episode, I share why you need to read the Binti Trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor, plus why I believes readers need to explore books that are different to our own cultures and backgrounds.
I also invite listeners to share their favorite authors, including a sneak peek at a topic for a future episode.
Note: The audio-only version has long pauses where I show the book covers. Go to the YouTube version to see Okorafor’s beautiful covers.
