Yemisi Aribisala Biography
She has been compared to writers such as Aminatta Forna and Binyavanga Wainaina who “play with the ontology of the 21st century African memoir, and oscillate between the deeply personal and the distinctly political”; a book that is a “mouth-watering appraisal of the cultural politics and erotics of Nigerian cuisine”. The pages [of her book] sing with her clever, beautiful prose and sharp eye. It is a work “redolent with spice, rippling with humour and sexual innuendo, her memoirs conjure up fantasies that can only be satisfied by reading another chapter.”
Yemisi Aribisala (born 27 April 1973) is a Nigerian essayist, writer, painter, and food memoirist. She has been described as having a “fearless, witty, and unapologetic voice”, and was named by Sarah Ladipo Manyika as one of seven bold and new international voices.
