This guy is sharp and quite creative. Here's a link to one of his stories "Discovering Home": http://books.google.com/books?id=Y1Sv87gyGcoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Discovering+Home&source=bl&ots=cBFHMi-I8F&sig=uCHeTlC_WL-rwP7A1ksFTVyhDiI&hl=en&ei=rpF2TbDvOabJ0QGEq_GPAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CEUQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q&f=false There are also some other stories there by African writers, but the preview pages are limited. |

^^ lol, what was he teaching and where? This guy needs to put out a major work and enrich the African literary scene. He's got the wit and creativity to really be a major writer. |

English/Contemporary African Literature. I never took his class, I'm an Engineer, all the oyinbo girls were fascinated with him --- but I've had lunch with him on several occasions. I enjoyed speaking with him. |

I don't think he has a full book out yet. But I enjoyed his pieces on how to write about Africa. As someone who writes on Nigeria myself, I get that, lol, |
