Chris Abani Zitate

African narratives in the West, they proliferate. I really don't care anymore. I'm more interested in the stories we tell about ourselves - how, as a writer, I find that African writers have always been the curators of our humanity on this continent.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Afrikanische Erzählungen im Westen, sie vermehren sich. Ich interessiere mich wirklich nicht mehr. Ich interessiere mich mehr für die Geschichten, die wir über uns selbst erzählen - wie ich als Schriftsteller finde, dass afrikanische Schriftsteller immer die Kuratoren unserer Menschheit auf diesem Kontinent waren.

Anyway, in my writing I've always been interested in finding places to stand, and I've found it very useful to have a direct experience of what I'm writing about.

I have some realistic humility which comes from my first career as a writer. I wrote for other people for ten years. I saw some incredible egos not based on any reality. They were great when they were on top and awful when they weren't. I learned a lot about how to treat people.

Alan Thicke

Each of my novels has come from a different place, and the processes are not always entirely conscious. I have lived off and on in America for a number of years and so have accumulated observations, found things interesting, been moved to tell stories about them.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I've always been interested in image and reputation management. Because really, when you think about it, it is an old phrase, but all we have is our word and our good name.

My work has been much more Caribbean and eclectic. I am interested in people, and where they come from happens to have fallen within an area of Africa.
