A Book Chat with Peter Onkonkwo

Good interviewers put their guests at ease, and one international literary site’s host does exactly that. He’s warm, funny, and, above all, genuinely interested in the topic at hand. I had the pleasure of speaking with him recently.

His name is Peter Okonkwo, a Nigerian writer, poet, literary critic and host of the P. English Literature (PEL) youtube channel featuring conversations with authors around the world. Click on the image below if you’d like to see ours. And thank you, Peter, for your interest in my memoir.

Comments from the youtube page make my day!
