Dr. Ndibe's lates t novel "Foreign Gods, Inc."





Dear friends,

I'm "posin' 'til closin'", with my longtime, dear friend and brother Dr. Okey Ndibe at a Barnes & Noble store, on this past Saturday. Okey's latest, just released, novel titled "Foreign Gods Inc." has been receiving rave reviews from the New York Times and other major media outlets. We had planned, a few weeks ago, for me to hang out with him and his family in Connecticut, for my birthday weekend, especially since the dates coincided with his brief break of book signings and lectures from London to Los Angeles.


A native Nigerian and close friend and colleague of the likes of Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka and the now late Chinua Achebe, Dr. Ndibe who is also an internationally-involved intellectual activist and scholar teaches a literature course at the Ivy League's Brown University in Rhode Island, among his many other varied activities. Pick up a copy of "Foreign Gods, Inc.". I sure grabbed a couple. Cheers!
