About Me
- Wordsbody
- I am a writer and arts journalist now based in Lagos. This is a blog on arts and culture. The focus is on Nigeria's art scene, especially her 'Word's Body' - the writers. As and when, we'll also touch on wider African writing, as well as international literature. In short, a saturation of the arts.

Hadn't seen this - thanks for posting it! Adichie is a wonderful speaker - I saw her in London at the Orange Prize readings the year she won for Half of a Yellow Sun, and she was really impressive. Have bookmarked this to watch later.
