Write me from Africa

Arthur and the thief monkey, Kenya, 2006.

Write me from Africa

Write me from Africa. On the road or the track, from the sands or the savannah, from Casa or Nouakchott, from Bobo or Agadez, sand in your hair, parched lips, fingers black with grease, at the time of day when the women are cooking and the monkeys are flying, sit down a sec and write me from Africa ; eight to ten pages a day, no more, that would be fine.
