| Introduction | Jane F. Bonin was born in deepest Louisiana. After marrying a successful lawyer and bringing up two children, she settled in Washington, D.C. Several years later, she went overseas to work in Africa on the Peace Corps staff, first in Malawi for two years, then in Niger as Country Director for four. Always a writer, she published three books of drama history and criticism as part of her work for a Ph.D and to satisfy the requirements of her university position, but after living in Africa for six years she began to write in a more personal way about those years. Today she devotes her attention to reading and writing, both in French and English, and to singing in a large chorale. She enjoys the cultural riches of Washington, especially its many museums and theatres. She loves shopping for food every day and walking everywhere or using public transportation. What she saves by not maintaining a car she spends on books and concert tickets. |
