Sometime in 2009, we interviewed EC Osondu, after the interview, he went on to win the Caine Prize for that year. Not to mean that the interview made him win of course, it was just our way of saying go for it! And sure, he went for it!
Here we are in 2011, his collection of short stories, Voice of America has been published by Farafina. He would be reading in various parts of the country in July. Here's a breakdown of events. Catch him around town and say you are a Bookaholic Blog fan ;)
