My favorite Things
2008.08.31
I can't live without music, but I cannot live without books either. Here are some of my favorite ones. There's one book that I absolutely love: Mariama Ba's Une Si Longue Lettre/ So Long a Letter, but I just gave it to someone dear and I don't have a copy with me for now. Une Si Longue Lettre helped me understand Senegalese culture a lot and was quite eye-opening for me during the time I lived in Senegal.
I find myself reading The Alchemist about once a year b/c I find it inspiring and there's always something new to learn.

I never knew that comic books could be so powerful until I read Maus, a book in which the author describes his parents' experiences during the Holocaust.

In L'Etoile Noire, I learned about other victims of the Holocaust that one never hears or reads about. After reading it, I thought about Ousmane Sembene's movie Camp de Thiaroye, an excellent film about the experiences of returning African soldiers after WWII.

In Zenzele, a Zimbabwean mother tells her daughter about the values she wants to transmit her and about the experiences that shaped her life. A universal story.

Un livre que j'aimerais lire c'est Une si longue lettre de mariama ba....Je me rappelle avoir lu un extrait de cela, et cela m'avait marquée...Mais je ne me rappelle plus ce dont il était question! Bonne idée, j'ai une liste maintenant!
