\u201cI think it’s really important that we read books and reread authors who aren’t similar to us, who are very different from us culturally, come from different backgrounds, different parts of the world.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In this How To Write the Future episode, host Beth Barany explains in detail why you need to read the \u201cBinti Trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor,\u201d plus why she believes readers need to explore books that are different to our own cultures and backgrounds. Beth invites listeners to share their favorite authors, including a sneak peek into a topic for a future episode.<\/span><\/p>\n
