Sounds to me like Assia Djebar--she says this multiple times in "Fantasia".

>hello,

i am trying to locate this qoute: "the french language is my exile" i have
read it in arabic somewhere, but i don't remember who said/wrote it. i know
it s an algerian writer, who chose to stop writing because he couldn't write
in arabic and he didn't want to write in the colonizers' language.

i'd truely appreciate any help in locating this statement.

Also, can anyone suggest any critical work on Ngugi?

best,
w-
