The adventures of Azaro, the spirit child, continue.
Sending to the winner of the Unusual Countries Sweepstakes. Enjoy!
Received this story from a Nigerian author today and it looks interesting. Thanks!
Wow, this book was surreal. I'm sure all of the vivid images made sense somehow as allegory or other symbolism but I was unable to decipher them. I waded my way through somehow, but mostly in complete bewilderment.
I'm sure it didn't help that this is a sequel to another book that I haven't read. I'm also sure that a better grasp of Nigerian politics, history, and culture would help somewhat.
In any case, I did persist to finish this and I'm counting it as my read for Africa / Nigeria for the 666 Around the World Reading Challenge 2022.
