Adichie, Afolabi, Habila and all our young literary geniuses following in the footsteps of Ben Okri are making me proud to walk tall as a Nigerian.
After Ben Okri, who among the new Nigerian writers can win the Booker Prize?
Diana Evans?
God bless.
Chimamanda's got a piece in the Guardian (UK) today:

working late on Wednesday, so I'll miss it. Argh!
Picked up Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun last week. Should be interesting.
