Yahaya Yirenkyi is a Ghanaian author and independent thinker whose work spans non-fiction and fiction, moving fearlessly across the deepest questions of human existence - from the cultural forces that shape African identity, to the biological and philosophical forces that shape all human life, to the universal language of the heart. His non-fiction explores what has been taken from Africa and what threatens the human species.
His fiction carries those same questions into the territory of love, art, and the courage it takes to open a closed door. He writes stories that are rooted in Ghana and reach toward the world - stories about people who look carefully at what others have covered over, and refuse to leave until they understand what is beneath. Yahaya Yirenkyi writes from Ghana, for the world.
