ILFU annually selects one author from the literary heritage to (again) put in the spotlight. This year it is Maya Angelou (1928-2014), poet, writer, dancer, singer, filmmaker and civil rights activist. She made her international breakthrough as a writer with the autobiographical novel 𝘐 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 (1969).
