mbulela: Paperworth Bookshop is a decent one in PHC. They are located at 187 woji road GRA Phase 2. Endeavour to check them out. And I think Nigerian writers are not doing badly. We could do better but we are getting there. A few favourites, Tomorrow died yesterday by Chimeka Garricks, Purple Hibiscus by Adichie, To St. Patrick by Imasuen, Nights of a creaking bed by Toni Kan and The Thing around your neck by Adichie again. |

Bored with contemporary African writing? Need a good novel from an African author? Then look no further, if u'v got a credit card and can buy books online, then check out THE BLACK BOOK's trailer now on Youtube. On sale in Amazon but not yet listed. Believe me, this book will BLOW YOUR MIND, The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx1Utp_zGV4 What do y'all think? |

SEFAGO: I especially like reading novels that details the clash of cultures, you know, the East meets west novels and how it merges or clashes. Funny, in the white house, there is the East wing section and the west wing, I think. My own take, apart from African novels is Persian novels. I just find it ironic that a very conservative country, Iran, is also the nose job capital of the world. |
