Our first dialogue with a TED-speaker are with Nigerian author Chris Abani, who gave two personal talks on the power of the story.
Imprisoned three times by the Nigerian government, Chris Abani turned his experience into poems that Harold Pinter called “the most naked, harrowing expression of prison life and political torture imaginable.” His novels include GraceLand (2004) and The Virgin of Flames (2007).
