About this ebook
In this compendium of vignettes that are laced with coruscating wit and thought-provoking story lines, Ejiro Eghagha explores the myriad of mentalities lurking within the swathe of humanity residing in modern African urban settings.
Through an array of compelling characterizations that range from the con artists of the clerical class and the hard-bitten underclass to the intellectually minded chattering classes, Eghagha consistently keeps the reader enthralled with his disseminations on the mechanics of survival and the struggle to give meaning to lives lived in settings replete with moral ambiguity and social dysfunctionality.
They are parables which distil in frank and humorous tones the essence of the not so frequently documented dance of life in contemporary Africa.
Adeyinka Makinde, author of Dick Tiger: The Life and Times of a Boxing Immortal
