Sanmao's dispatches from 1975 Western Sahara still shape how a billion people picture Africa. One problem: her Africa may be a fantasy. @JacobKushner's new piece for NOW VOYAGER, ISSUE 2: https://t.co/yCLUVf5AoH

7 years in the making, this feature for Now Voyager Magazine took me to six countries on 4 continents. The epic story of the famous writer turned travel influencer who became China’s literary lens into Africa, and the world. But was Sanmao’s Africa real? https://t.co/yBGNNJFSwa
