The New Yorker: Between Two Continents

I just got around to reading Uwem Akpan's story, “An Ex-Mas Feast”, in the New Yorker's "Debut Fiction" issue from last June. Powerful short story of the homeless, living in grinding poverty in Kenya.

Here, with the New Yorker's deputy fiction editor, Cressida Leyshon, Akpan discusses his writing and his career so far.
