Véronique Tadjo

Véronique Tadjo is a writer, poet, novelist and artist from Côte d'Ivoire, born in 1955. Her novels include As the Crow Flies and In the Company of Men, and The Shadow of Imana, a magical-realist coming-of-age story, is another. She has lived and worked in many countries across Africa and its diaspora, and she sees herself as pan-African, a view that shows in the subjects, images and allusions of her work.
