Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Kodjo Adabra was born and raised in Lomé, the capital of Togo, West Africa. He has three brothers and two sisters. At twenty-six, he emigrated to the United States in pursuit of the "American Dream." Beset by loneliness, low-paid jobs, and his existential quest, he slowly learned English. This enabled him to return to school and earn a Ph.D. in Literature.
