This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
One of Africa’s most distinguished contemporary writers, the Nigerian Chuma Nwokolo, has added the Dylan Thomas Centre, Swansea to a 12-city British and African tour to launch his latest book, a collection of twenty-six remarkable short stories called The Ghost of Sani Abacha. A special free-entry event at the Centre is scheduled for 12.30–1.30 on Saturday, 4 February, during which Chuma Nwokolo will be in conversation with local author Nigel Jenkins before reading excerpts from his new book – which Jenkins describes as ‘just about the best way of visiting contemporary Nigeria without going to the expense of physically removing yourself there: these are superb stories, brimful of life, drama, humour, anger, satirical wit, compassion and a delight in language.
