Autorenporträt
An award-winning journalist for the Chicago Tribune, Vicki Vass' travels in southern Sudan inspired the story behind Eleven: 1. While there covering the civil war, she learned from her guide "Amat," a sudanese history professor, that there are more than 365 languages in southern Sudan. Due to the difficulty in traveling between villages, each tribe has developed its own language.This led her to ask the question: what is the original language of man and what happens when we forget it?
