In sorndoing, I also show how the works are shot with postcoloniality in the most typicalrnways such as the issue of hybridity, language politics and uncommitted art as well asrnattempt to identify innovative techniques used by this author which might form a newrntrend in postcolonial writing including her extensive use of untranslated Igbo andrnEnglish transcription of Igbo dialogue.
