Nnedi Okorafor's transformation from a paralyzed athlete, who lost faith in medicine to a bestselling author, illustrates resilience and the power of imagination.
In her new novel, "Death of the Author," Okorafor draws from her experiences to explore the challenges of being an author with a disability in a world that often overlooks such narratives.
Zelu's journey in the story highlights the struggles many writers face—navigating family expectations and the betrayal felt when their stories are altered by commercial interests.
With a background marked by both trauma and triumph, Okorafor's work defies traditional boundaries, showcasing narratives that embrace identity, culture, and the complexities of success.
