The number of interviews in this collection is a record of the various times that readers have taken a break from observing themselves and the societies that Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo has portrayed. The interviewers are courageous in reversing the mirror and trusting it towards the writer to see herself clearly. In her responses to the various questions put to her, we can say that she self-represents in a way that makes a formal autobiography relatively unnecessary.
