Ooooo! I'd love to read some books from the Democratic Republic of Congo. My knowledge of the country is minimal, but I feel there's so much hidden away which the world isn't privy to.
As to genres... I'm a huge fan of fantasy books - I think it's something to do with the disconnection from real life. I earlier tried to describe it to someone, and the closest I could find was that fantasy is another journey, another adventure, into a brand new land with new cultures and rules and things to discover... But one which can't be sullied by humans exploring and discovering all of it. It's untouchable and un-ruin-able, if that can be said.
I also love reading as a form of escapism. And that's a very interesting way to describe fantasy—untouched and unsullied by humans. There aren't too many places like that on the planet so the easiest way to experience that is through the pages of a book.
I have struggled to find women authors from the DRC translated into English, so would welcome suggestions if you come across any!
