Ifesinachi Okpagu will now read in Lagos

Patabah, a leading bookstore located at Adeniran Ogunsanya Street, Surulere, will play host to Ifesinachi Okpagu, author of the novella, Domestication of Munachi.
The event, which holds on Sunday, May 8, between 2pm and 4pm at the Bookstore, concludes her book blog tour across the country and will give the city’s book-lovers a chance to meet with the craftswoman and the work.
Femi Morgan, a writer and culture curator, will be the compere.
Domestication of Munachi is the story of a woman who rebels against an arranged marriage and transits from her awareness of the familiar to the adventurous ways of the world. Her action exhumes long kept family feuds and secrets as she liberates herself from cultural hegemony and finds freedom in the same bag with treachery, deceit, sex and money. The story throws light on the Diasporic economy of arranged marriages and betrothals, the angst for non-conformity and the rage between tradition and modernity.
Okpagu is a marketing communications guru, screenplay writer and author. She is currently managing Fabolous City, a community inclined to the growth of young and ambitious businesswomen in the country. She has written several screenplays and stories. Her first book was published at the age of 14. She has since been published on Sentinel Nigeria, The Femrite Anthology, Saraba magazine and elsewhere.
She holds a master’s degree from the Pan-African University and a first degree in fine arts from the University of Benin.
Parresia Publishers, publishers of Domestication of Munachi, has also published A-list authors and books including Chika Unigwe’s Night Dancer, Abubakar Ibrahim’s The Whispering Trees and Pius Adesanmi’s Naija No Dey Carry Last.
