By Ugochukwu Ejinkeonye | Published 04/18/2008 | Interview | Unrated

2003! That is already an age. You mean I have allowed so much time to pass without coming up with another work? Phew, in that time, two novels ought to have been breathing on the table. I had thought that what I had had been brought to a stage and so laid out that one should just do a smooth drive and that would be it. How wrong I was.
