Northern Somaliland in particular stimulated the deep understanding of human nature that permeates Laurence’s subsequent work. Fiona Sparrow’s in-depth study examines the foundations of Laurence’s African writing, as well as Laurence’s personal experiences in West Africa.

• DR. FIONA SPARROW has travelled widely in West and Central Africa between studies at Oxford and the University of Toronto. She currently resides in Zagreb, Croatia.
