Chris Abani az emberekről mesél: emberekről, akik szembeszegülnek katonákkal, emberekről, akik könyörületesek, emberekről, akik emberiek és visszaszerzik emberségüket. Azt mondja ez "ubuntu": az egyedüli módja annak, hogy ember legyek az, hogy visszatükrözd rám emberségemet.

Imprisoned three times by the Nigerian government, Chris Abani turned his experience into poems that Harold Pinter called "the most naked, harrowing expression of prison life and political torture imaginable." His novels include GraceLand (2004) and The Virgin of Flames (2007). Full bio »
