'Call and Response' is an ode to the women and girls of Botswana
Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Tue Feb 21 2023
Description: Gothataone Moeng says she knows the characters in her collection of short stories, Call and Response. They bear similarities to her sisters, cousins, and aunties – but they're their own reflections of life, love, shame, expectations and joy in Gaborone and Serowe, Botswana. In today's episode, Moeng talks to NPR's Scott Simon about some of the different lessons her protagonists are learning, and how spending time back home in her village after a long time away reopened doors to a rhythm of life she'd almost forgotten about.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
