OUR Wife and Other Stories is my first published collection of short stories. The collection was my way of connecting with the Nigerian society, a way of understanding the various cultures, which I confronted, particularly, the Yoruba culture.

More quotes by Karen King-Aribisala

Simply by believing in God and leaving it to God to change things. Which is again not to say that you don’t do anything on your own part.

But you try to listen to the other person’s point of view as “The Black Lady The” does.

You hear another person’s point of view. You may agree with it or not but you are all achieving to some vision.

When you are criticising or analysing something it is different to when you are writing it and sometimes you can see more than the person who is sitting writing it ‘cos that’s the job of the critic.

We can only go forward as a nation; as a human race when male and female work together to realise a harmonious ideal. This sensitisation can be effected through dialogue; by accountability; by jettisoning fear of the other whoever that other might be; both on individual and group levels.
