Bongani Kona talks to novelist and critic Elleke Boehmer about her trio of new books about the allegedly lower half of the globe (Ice Shock, Life Writing and the Southern Hemisphere; Southern Imagining). Do we southerners have a unique perspective on our planet’s future? Are we more pivotal than we — or the Northerners — think?
