And so, I began to realize that my American roommate must have throughout her life seen and heard different versions of this single story, as had a professor, who once told me that my novel was not "authentically African."
I així, vaig començar a adonar-me que la meva companya americana d'habitació havia d'haver vist i sentit, al llarg de la seva vida, diferents versions d'aquesta única història; com la tenia un professor, que un cop em va dir que la meva novel·la no era "autènticament africana."
