Grace Ogot

    Grace Ogot bola kenská autorka, ktorá spolu s Charity Waciumou patrí medzi prvé publikované kenské spisovateľky píšuce po anglicky. Jej diela sa zameriavajú na zložité vzťahy medzi tradičným africkým životom a modernitou. Ogotová skúma témy ako rodina, komunita a vplyv kultúrnych zmien na jednotlivca. Jej jedinečný štýl rozprávania a hlboký vhľad do ľudskej psychiky jej zabezpečili významné miesto v africkej literatúre.
