Adaora Lily Ulasi
Adaora Lily Ulasi (born 1932) is a Nigerian journalist and novelist. As a journalist she has worked for the BBC and Voice of America. As a novelist she may be the first Nigerian to write detective fiction in English, "adapting the genre of the crime thriller to a Igbo or Yoruba context".〔Lorna Sage, ed., ''The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English'', 1999〕
==Biography==
Born in Aba, Eastern Nigeria, daughter of an Igbo chief, she was locally schooled, and then studied in Los Angeles, CA, at Pepperdine University and at the University of Southern California, earning a BA in journalism in 1954. In the 1960s she was women's page editor of the ''Daily Times of Nigeria''. She subsequently married Deryk James and had three children Heather, Angela and Martin. After her divorce in 1972 she went to Nigeria as editor of ''Woman's World'' magazine, and in 1976 returned to England. Her first novel, ''Many Thing You No Understand'' (1970), "controversially (for the first time) used pidgin English to dramatize the interaction between colonial officers and local people in the pre-independence era, as did her subsequent works, ''Many Thing Begin For Change'' (1971), ''Who Is Jonah?'' (1978) and ''The Man from Sagamu'' (1978). By contrast, ''The Night Harry Died'' (1974) is set in southern USA."〔Margaret Busby (ed.), ''Daughters of Africa: An International Anthology of Words and Writings by Women of African Descent'', London: Jonathan Cape, 1992, p. 422.〕
She currently lives in Kent, England.
