My blogger-personality Talatu-Carmen reflects my rapidly developing multiple personalities, and embodies my chronic inability to focus on just one thing. My blog Abubuwan da nake tunani chronicled the things that flitted across my mind often when I was procrastinating my school work and is now a vestige of graduate school. Most of my posts have to do with Africa, Nigeria, or Hausa culture. In the blog Abubuwan da nake Rubutawa, I place larger chunks of text (short stories, translation projects, film and book reviews) that I'd like to get feedback on. Please feel free to comment, but please do not use, quote, or re-post anything from these blogs without first requesting my permission.

I think you're right. I read somewhere that something he said offended one of the Nobel chairs, who swore he would never give Achebe the Nobel. I will try to find the link to that article, so that I am not spreading internet rumours, but there are definitely politics there.

Every month I ask myself "why has Chinua Achebe not won a nobel prize?"
The answer is simple and available to everyone - He has not won a Nobel prize because of his critique of Joseph Conrad (Heart of Darkness).
