Marthe Fare
Marthe Fare (born 1985) is a Togolese writer, educator and communications specialist. As a novelist, using the name Noun Fare, she has published two best-sellers: La sirène des bas-fonds (2011) and Rivales (2014). She is the coordinator behind Egbe Nana, a television series that presents 52 women who have positively influenced their communities. Fare heads the Communications and PR department of AVNT (Agence Nationale du Volontariat au Togo).[1][2][3][4] BiographyBorn in 1985 in Lomé, Togo, Marthe Fare worked as a journalist while studying modern literature.[3] In 2008, she spent a year as a reporter and host on Togo's TV7.[5] She then attended the École supérieure de journalisme in Lille, France, where she graduated in 2012. On returning to Togo, she became a journalist on the Web, making use of the latest technologies.[3] In August 2011, using the pen name Noun Fare, she published La Sirène des bas-fonds, a 64-page erotic story of a Togolese girl who becomes involved in prostitution before embarking on a more successful path.[6] It turned out to be a best seller. In 2014, it was followed by the rather longer Rivales, which tells of the rape of several members of the same family and of a daughter who steals her mother's lover.[2] Despite its pornographic style, the novel succeeds in emphasizing the threats faced by Togolese women.[7] As a member of PEN Togo, Fare seeks to promote Togolese literature. She is also the coordinator of Egbe Nana, a project on television and the social networks that presents 52 women who have impacted life in their communities.[1] References
