Ken Bugul: Nobody Wants Her - Portait of an Author

Ken Bugul is a Senegalese writer, who has settled in Africa, where her soul is anchored. Ken Bugul is style. Both in her works and in life. She is pure energy and has a passion for freedom. Novel after novel, she paints the picture of her life as a woman, of her loves, her sorrows and the relationships between her continent and the West.

Encounters, friction, sparks and beauty are everywhere. No matter where we are from, where we live, her laughter is our laughter, her tears are our tears, her hopes are our hopes. They share the same sparkle, the same salty taste, the same freshness. To write, according to Ken Bugul, is to dazzle the senses, and senses are colourless.
