I just watched this interesting talk, 'The Danger of theSingle Story', by Chimamanda Adichie.
The first part of the talk reminded so much of my own childhood when I set out to write a book about the "Secret Nine", modeled of course on Enid Blyton's "Secret Seven" stories. There are so many other parallels I drew between her early life in Nigeria and mine in India. I found her concept of the misleading single story eye-opening and profound.
