Patience Agbabi
Patience Agbabi was born in London in 1965 to Nigerian parents, spent her teenage years living in North Wales and now lives in Kent with her husband and children. She has been writing poetry for over twenty years, The Infinite is her first novel. Like Elle, she loves sprinting, numbers and pepper soup, but, disappointingly, her leaping is less spectacular.
The Infinite is the first book in The Leap Cycle series.
Patience Agbabi speaks to Ian McMillan on BBC Radio 3’s The Verb about time travel, word play and autism in her debut children’s novel The Infinite. Listen to the conversation and a reading from Patience from 33 minutes in.
