Sobre IBD

Expats in Nigeria is an unusual collection of short stories inspired by Keith Fisher’s experiences when living and working in Africa during the 1970s and 1980s. He introduces us to many colourful characters and recounts events that are both touching and humorous and which give us a taste of post-colonial Nigeria.This collection is an important glimpse into the social history of the British in Nigeria during those years, and we learn a great deal through Keith’s telling of the anecdotes and real-life stories of the people who lived there.Keith developed his interest in short stories having listened to his Uncle Percy, who was a great storyteller.
