About this audiobook
This book is a coming of age story, an immersive exploration of a young writer's journey to find his voice in the Third World, while navigating the unending swarms of distraction, hormones and angst that the 21st century throws at him. The personal stories in this debut memoir present Osuji as a voice unafraid to be vulnerable and opinionated.
Powerful, Absorbing work.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a great book to listen to. It reaches me in so many ways. First, It portrays the beauty of the Igbo culture and language. It reassures me that even our vulnerability can produce art in any form and be great. I like how the author brought in music into the body of the work. I also appreciate how the book covers many facets of the human experiences.
