Kabu kabu—unregistered illegal Nigerian taxis—generally get you where you need to go. Nnedi Okorafor's Kabu Kabu, however, takes the listener to exciting, fantastic, magical, occasionally dangerous, and always imaginative locations you didn't know you needed. This debut short story collection by an award-winning author includes notable previously published material, a new novella cowritten with New York Times bestselling author Alan Dean Foster, six additional original stories, and a brief foreword by Whoopi Goldberg.
Nnedi Okorafor, born to Igbo Nigerian parents in Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 8, 1974, is an author of fantasy and science fiction for both adults and younger readers. Her books include the Tor.com novella Binti, which won the 2015 Hugo and Nebula Awards; the children's book Long Juju Man, which won the 2007-08 Macmillan Writer's Prize for Africa; and the novels Who Fears Death (World Fantasy Award winner) and Akata Warrior (Lodestar and Locus Award winner). She is an associate professor of creative writing and literature at the University at Buffalo.
Better known as the goddess Bilquis on the Starz series American Gods, Nigerian-born actress Yetide Badaki has been seen performing all around the world.
