Genre


Born in Nigeria, Odafe Atogun is a writer who draws inspiration from his African society to create a unique and colourful world where humankind is consumed by a common desire for change. World rights to his debut novel, Taduno’s Song, were acquired by Canongate, who published the UK edition in 2016. It has also been published in the US by Penguin Random House, in Nigeria by Ouida Books and translated into several languages. Taduno’s Song was selected for the BBC Radio 2 Book Club and has received critical acclaim. His second novel, Wake Me When I’m Gone, is out. Now a fulltime writer, he is working on a new book.
