Search Sweet Country (1986) Woman of the Aeroplanes (1988)
B. Kojo Laing or Bernard Kojo Laing (1 July 1946 – 20 April 2017)[1] 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.[2] 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.[3]
