On this Episode we speak to American-born Ethiopian, Hannah Giorgis whose short story 'A Double-Edged Inheritance' originally published in Addis Ababa Noir (2020), has been shortlisted for the 2022 AKO Caine Prize for African Writing. We explore the idea of home and what it means for different people - is home a place or a person? How do our experiences and history shape us and where is home when that connection to home no longer exists? We also draw parallels between Hannah's own experiences as the daughter of Immigrants and the protagonist in her short story, Meskerem.  As a predominantly non-fiction writer, Hannah lets us in on how different it has been foraying into the world of fiction...and so much more. Enjoy!  *********** Hannah Giorgis is a staff writer at The Atlantic. Her criticism and reporting have appeared in publications including the New York Times magazine, The Guardian, and Pitchfork.
