Elaine Neil Orr Books

After surviving end-stage renal disease and receiving two transplants, this author pivoted from scholarship to creative writing. Born and raised in Nigeria, their trans-Atlantic work deeply explores place, not as a mere backdrop, but as a character in itself. The act of writing is described as a meditative process, a transcendent realm where the everyday world fades. This immersion in creation, alongside a love for solitary moments in nature, reflects a profound sense of contentment and self-sufficiency.
