My Escapades
by Odey Akiri
As a young, high school graduate, Paul had a bright future ahead of him, but he decided not to take the path his parents laid out for him. Instead, he threw caution to the wind and moved to the city.
Later, after being diagnosed with an advanced stage of AIDS, Paul reminisces about his life and wasted opportunities.
My Escapades captures the naivete of youth and the sheds light on how Africans react to the dreaded disease of AIDS and its victims.
About the AuthorOdey Akiri hails from the village of Ayinkang in Bekwarra Cross-Rivers State in Nigeria. He moved to the United States in 2007.
He developed an interest in writing after reading the works of Nigerian essayists Dan Agbese, Pat Utomi, and Reuben Abati.
