Young Writers Start New Chapter In Nigeria's Literary History by JUO(m): 10:10pm On Sep 27, 2010 |
CNN's new series i-List takes you to a different country each month. In September, we visit Nigeria focusing on changes shaping the country's economy, culture and social fabric as it celebrates 50 years of independence. (CNN) -- A 19-year-old Nigerian undergraduate student has signed a two-novel deal with the British publisher Faber, making her its youngest ever woman author. Chibundu Onuzo, a history student at King's College London, will have her first novel, "The Spider King's Daughter," published next year. "I wrote the book in my last year at school," Onuzo told CNN. "I've been writing since I was 10, but this was the first novel I finished, so it was very liberating to be able to write 'The End.'" Onuzo, who moved to England to go to school five years ago, found an agent before she had even finished writing, and sealed the book deal on her first meeting with a publisher Her editor at Faber, Sarah Savitt, describes Onuzo as a "very talented writer at the beginning of an exciting writing career." http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/09/21/nigerian.authors/index.html?hpt=C2 i like this A 19-year-old Nigerian undergraduate student has signed a two-novel deal with the British publisher Faber, making her its youngest ever woman author. |

Don't mind these tribalists. Nigeria's first literary Nobel laureat is Yoruba (Wole Soyinka), so what is the noise about ethnicity. I'm glad for her as a Nigerian, even tho' she's been away for 5 yrs. |
