J. J. Nota, is a Mozambican young writer fascinated about Science,
Theology and how it all entangles in being human. He is a 21-year-old
University Student, doing English Teaching at Universidade Eduardo
Mondlane. Although Portuguese is his mother tongue and English is taught
in Mozambique as a foreign language, he has always been exposed to
English Language content mainly through Sci-fi books, rarely
written by Portuguese-speaking African writers. Twisted Destination is his
first ever published book. It’s a cry of resistance against those who say
Africans should only write about their tradition and cultural habits. It’s a
proof that Africans can and will excel in non-traditional genres (African
context). He intends to prove that the new generations want to take things on
their own hands. Writing in English seemed to be the best way to
put his word out. He is currently working on this book’s sequel whilst trying
to improve his writing craft.
