Gothataone Moeng, CALL AND RESPONSE: Stories

Published: Feb. 17, 2023, 5 a.m.

Zibby interviews debut author Gothataone Moeng about Call and Response: Stories, a beautiful and sharply observed collection of short stories about women, young and old, grappling with modern life in postcolonial Botswana, where elements of traditional life still remain. Gothataone talks about the themes she enjoyed exploring \u2013 love, relationships, familial duty, and self-sacrifice \u2013 all of which speak to the universal experience of womanhood. She also shares her writing journey, from growing up in Botswana and trying to write a book at the age of 14 to pursuing an MFA in the US and finding a publisher mid-pandemic while back in her Botswanian village! Oh, and she ululates \u2013 which you definitely don\u2019t want to miss!
