Chris Abani
Christopher "Chris" Abani (born 27 December 1966) is a Nigerian and American author. He is part of a new generation of Nigerian writers working to convey to an English-speaking audience the experience of those born and raised in "that troubled African nation".
==Biography==
Abani was born in Afikpo, Nigeria. His father was Igbo, while his mother was of English descent.
He published his first novel, ''Masters of the Board'', in 1985 at the age of 16. It was a political thriller, the plot of which was an allegory based on a coup that was carried out in Nigeria just before it was written. He was imprisoned for six months on suspicion of an attempt to overthrow the government. He continued to write after his release from jail, but was imprisoned for one year after the publication of his 1987 novel ''Sirocco''. After he was released from jail this time, he composed several anti-government plays that were performed on the street near government offices for two years. He was imprisoned a third time and was placed on death row. Luckily, his friends had bribed government officials for his release in 1991, and immediately Abani moved to the United Kingdom, living there until 1999. He then moved to the United States, where he now lives.〔http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/chris-abani〕
