In the Library with Ramata-Toulaye Sy — CHANEL and Literature
Director and screenwriter Ramata-Toulaye Sy reflects on the books that sparked her interest in reading when she was a child. Passionate about African-American literature, she also evokes the way Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison shaped her relationship with femininity and reinforced her taste for complex fictional characters.
“I would like to be someone who hands down traditions,“ confides Ramata-Toulaye Sy, convinced that the fundamental role of a book, and more generally of a work of art, is to transmit a culture, a history.
