Short Story "To Taste the Rains"
Dublin Core
Title
Short Story "To Taste the Rains"
Description
The two characters in this story, an unnamed woman and unnamed man, argue over the man's desire to move to Africa. The man claims that everyone who visits the continent "wish[es] they had come before the white man, or before colonization" and desperately wants to live there. The woman's frustration stems out of her belief that he would pick moving over her, but she responds by claiming Africa is full of poverty, filth, death, and overcrowding, ultimately stating she sees it "for what it is" and that he doesn't "see the real Africa."
