"The most refreshing part of reading stories by non-American writers is that they often break western formulas. This is one reason why the now deceased Nigerian-British writer Buchi Emecheta remains my favorite storyteller. She was the author of more than 20 books, I have read nine of them. Competing for that title now is Gambian Sanusi Camara," Port of Harlem Magazine, Washington DC.
