Sudanese-American writer KOLA BOOF is an extravagantly gifted author of fiction, poetry and memoir. IF MY FATHER DIES I GIVE BIRTH TO HIM AGAIN samples the best of her writing to date- her vivid early childhood in Sudan (from DIARY OF A LOST GIRL), her sharp and shocking stories about African women (LONG TRAIN TO THE REDEEMING SIN), her proud and heartbroken poetry honoring her Nilotic heritage (NILE RIVER WOMAN) and her amazing West African mythmaking (FLESH AND THE DEVIL). A literary masterpiece.
