That's certainly what we're doing because it seems that Ms. Oyeyemi is one of the unaccepting ones (describing the whole "labelling" situation as "exasperating"). At one point someone in the audience rose to ask a question and began "I address this to all the Nigerian writers on the podium - and you are <I>all</I> Nigerian because regardless of when you moved to the UK you still eat eba at home . . ." And you could see Oyeyemi shaking her head in disagreement.<BR/><BR/>Nigeria (its various myths and cultures) has obviously been a strong literary influence on her but my impression (from a distance, that is, having read none of her books) is that she looks on this from the outside. Closely connected but nonetheless removed.CDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920137055756460604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-89267898631663475132007-08-31T11:42:00.000+01:002007-08-31T11:42:00.000+01:00Concerning Madame Etteh's case, for me it is a cas...Concerning Madame Etteh's case, for me it is a case of <I>Thank God!</I><BR/><BR/>A few years ago, we'd never have heard a word of the whole brouhaha...Chxtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363269342812285103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-44683857995834473172007-08-31T07:42:00.000+01:002007-08-31T07:42:00.000+01:00@omodudu- as my English literature master used to ...@omodudu- as my English literature master used to say- "expatiate, please"<BR/>@atutupoyoyo- fun? indeed.

I question the number of new arms but would like to see a clear manifesto for each one before commenting further. <BR/><BR/>Haven't read Oyeyemi's 'Opposite House' as I did not greatly enjoy 'Icarus girl'. Might add it to the list.
