I highly recommend his novella SONG FOR NIGHT, a stunning and harrowing work—and everything else he’s written, for that matter!
Song for Night is one of the best books ever written about the human effect of conflicts, poetic, liminal, powerful, profound. Chris Abani is a master!
He always has such wonderful ways of putting what you already know. "Writing is editing; otherwise you are just taking notes." I tried teaching this to my students (to no avail). Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't agree more, Jane! Thank you.
