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."
Tā nu es sāku saprast, kā mana amerikāņu istabas biedrene visu mūžu bija redzējusi un dzirdējusi šā vienīgā stāsta dažādas versijas, tāpat kā profesors, kurš reiz teica, ka mans romāns neesot "autentiski afrikānisks".
