Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home by Esi Edugyan

4.0

Edugyan's short essay, transcripted from a speech she gave at the Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture in Edmonton, Alberta in 2011. She relates stories of growing up in Calgary, studying at universities in the US and Germany, and visiting extended family in Ghana.

This speech was given around the release of her second novel, Half-Blood Blues. She discusses some of her research for the novel - Afro-Germans in the 1940s Nazi Germany - and her writing process.
