Expats in Nigeria

Overview

Expats in Nigeria is an unusual collection of short stories inspired by Keith Fisher's experiences when living and working in Africa during the 1970s and 1980s. He introduces us to many colourful characters and recounts events that are both touching and humorous and which give us a taste of post-colonial Nigeria. This collection is an important glimpse into the social history of the British in Nigeria during those years, and we learn a great deal through Keith's telling of the anecdotes and real-life stories of the people who lived there. Keith developed his interest in short stories having listened to his Uncle Percy, who was a great storyteller.

Author Information

Dr. Keith Fisher has been a chemist all his working life. He was born in Birmingham in 1940 during the bombing. Passing the 11 plus allowed him to go to a grammar school in Smethwick. Leaving school, he worked in chemical laboratories and did his degree part-time. After graduation he went to Canada to start a post-graduate degree which he finished at the University of London with a Ph.D. Post-doctoral studies and several teaching positions at universities in America took up the next five years. Returning to the UK he took up a senior lectureship at the University of Lagos followed by a post at the University of Khartoum. After nearly thirteen years in Africa, he spent two years in Canada before coming to Australia in 1989. His Uncle Percy was a great story teller and that stirred his interest in short stories.
