As his debut novel is published, Stephen Buoro talks to BarryPierce about religion, his upbringing in Nigeria, and writing on a BlackBerry
The Five Sorrowful Mysteries of Andy Africa
Below, AnOther speaks with Buoro about his debut novel, discussing everything from religion and mathematical theorems, to Kafka and Dostoyevsky.Stephen Buoro: The whole process took about five years. The book officially began one evening in June 2018. I was sitting in my living room and I was in this crazy, creative state, and then this powerful voice came to me that was full of shame, had guilt and so much urgency and power about it. And I picked up my BlackBerry and I just started writing.
SB: I could spend ten years talking about this. [Laughs]. Nigeria is a place where things are crumbling. Most people are drawn towards older transcendental, supernatural, and theological ways of understanding. So for me and my friends growing up, we always thought there was this huge super-force that was antagonising us, causing all our struggles, making everything fail.
SB: I am hugely, hugely fascinated and invested in religion because it has hugely defined who I am, it’s hugely defined my country, my compatriots, my friends.
