purples25:She's known as N. K. Jemisin. Her books include: The Broken Earth trilogy, Inheritance trilogy, and the Dreamblood duology. Waaay better writer than that overhyped hack Nnedi. |

VULCAN: Can you forgive? You know, in any write up, even the strongest characters are created with flaws. |

How come most people don't know she wrote Black Panther? |

VULCAN:that is What Nairaland has turned to , hardly anything educative, but threads about bobrisky, tonto, bbn always make frontpage.........so You are the one that first took the name i first wanted to use, that i had to add to it just to be able to use it. |
Re: Meet An Amazing Storyteller : Nnedi Okorafor. by purples25(f): 9:36am On Nov 09, 2019 |
Abagworo: I don't know why its not common knowledge. But she wrote some parts of the Black Panther comics, and other writers contributed also. People should read more about their favourite books, comics and movies. |

There is no need to defend her my dear. She messed up. A great writer needs to delve deep into an old character before putting pen to paper. They must find what is the essence of that character then play around with that. Christopher Priest and Reginald Hudlin took the essence of Black Panther and made it so much more. An average or mediocre writer just overlays their own prejudices over a character and destroys it for those who fully understand what the character stands for. I'm always wary of female comic book writers because the first thing that the average ones do to a preexisting comic is to lay a feminist layer over it instead of just telling a damn good story. purples25: |

Very true but Star Trek has taken over that word. Very few people today know anything about Roman mythology. So was your interest based on the Roman mythology? Vulcanheph: |

@ Dathypebruv , Ebonygirl1 , UnimkeAk , tobstarizhia , jadeliyi , Erudite202 , Shaaz00 , bolugab , kenny160 I'm sorry, but the combined effort of trying to get across to you all and sending few or many of her books would actually be very stressful and take some time, so i wont be sending again. I apologize for disappointing you. Like i told maynation , you can get her books on amazon and other online stores. |
Re: Meet An Amazing Storyteller : Nnedi Okorafor. by VULCAN(m): 3:17pm On Nov 09, 2019 |
Technology has taken care of that. You place all her books in a folder in Dropbox then share the link here. QED That's how it's done purples25: |
