About this person

B. Kojo Laing or Bernard Kojo Laing was a Ghanaian novelist and poet, whose writing is characterised by its hybridity, whereby he uses Ghanaian Pidgin English and vernacular languages alongside standard English. His first two novels in particular - Search Sweet Country (1986) and Woman of the Aeroplanes (1988) - were praised for their linguistic originality, both books including glossaries that feature the author's neologisms as well as Ghanaian words.
