His father had died when he was very young, leaving his mother to care for him and his younger brother and sister. They lived in a small house on the outskirts of the village, with no electricity or running water.
The only thing that kept him awake at night was the sound of his father’s voice in the next room, telling him to get up and go to work, or else he would have to leave the house and never see his family again. It was this constant reminder that made him want to be a writer, to recapture some of that lost connection to life that he felt as a child.
