Timeline
Otosirieze Obi-Young (born 1994) is a Nigerian writer, editor, culture journalist and curator.
He is editor of Open Country Mag.
He was editor of Folio Nigeria, a then CNN affiliate, and former deputy editor of Brittle Paper.
In 2018, Obi-Young used the term "the confessional generation" to describe his generation of African writers.
He has said: "'The next generation of writers, the ones who began to blossom last year and would peak in five years’ time, is dominated by people who are either queer or female and who have already begun to revolt against the normalized absence of their kind in literature.'"
In a feature, the Los Angeles Review of Books wrote about Obi-Young's short story "A Tenderer Blessing": "“Much still remains unspoken. Obi-Young relies on body language cues and the spaces between words to shape the intimacy. As readers, we feel almost as though we've been holding our breath the whole story, waiting for him to finally say it. We feel almost as though we have ourselves come out.'"
In 2019, he won the inaugural The Future Awards Africa Prize for Literature.
He has been described as among the "top curators and editors from Africa."
Obi-Young was born in Aba, Nigeria.
He studied at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
He attended the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
He has served on the judging panel of the Gerald Kraak Prize, an initiative for writing and visual art about on gender, social justice and sexuality.
He was a judge for the Miles Morland Foundation Writing Scholarship.
He is an editor at 14, Nigeria's first queer art collective.
He is the founder of the Art Naija Series anthologies, which include Enter Naija: The Book of Places and Work Naija: The Book of Vocations.
Obi-Young is an advocate for LGBTQ writing in Africa.
He has written: "To write literature humanizing queerness is only as political as it is not, because it is grounded in lived experience. How can one un-robbed of empathy say that to show these lives in literature is a 'political concession'?"
He expressed scepticism about the marketing category of LGBT literature because "it has no counter-reference": "'Why should literature exploring same-sex desire be categorized based on who its characters find themselves loving or on who its writers themselves love, especially as such categorization is withheld from literature exploring desire for the opposite sex? It takes focus away from the skill of its writers and pushes it to their subject, a denial not bestowed on writers of 'heterosexual literature'.'"
