About the Author:
Born in 1968 in Niodior, Senegal, Fatou Diome moved to Strasbourg in 1994. She has taught at Strasbourg University and currently presents a cultural programme on the televison station FR3. She is the author of a collection of short stories called La Preference Nationale. The Belly of the Atlantic is her first novel.
Review:
?Rich in incisive and humorous insights about existing at the bottom of the food chain? Morning Star ?Entertaining? her writing has undeniable power and wit? Independent ?Diome offers many wide, poignant and sometimes inspired epigrammatic observations that skewer a very real sense of immigrant experience? Big Issue ?This lyrical account of the bittersweet nature of emigration is half poetry, half novel? What?s on in London
