Chinedu Character Analysis

In "The Shivering," Chinedu is a gay Nigerian man living in Princeton student housing to evade his impending deportation notice from the US government. He's a devout Pentecostal Christian, and like Ukamaka, he dated a man who tried to control and dictate Chinedu's every move. Chinedu believes that God uses a different type of logic than people do; his faith is blind and trusting. Ukamaka thinks of him as being from the "bush" because of his poor table manners, his style of speaking English, and his unsightly facial features.
