About This Item
New York & Boston:: Little Brown,, (2019). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a like dustjacket.. First printing. Award-winning Nigerian born author's second novel (both of his first two novels were short-listed for the Man-Booker Prize, and this was the winner of the 2020 Internationaler Literaturpreis), one which merges African and western storytelling traditions. A reinvention of The Odyssey, the tale is narrated by the young mans chi, or guardian spirit. Bonded by the night on the bridge when Chinoso stopped Ndali from jumping, they Chinonso and Ndali fall in love. "But Ndali is from a wealthy family and struggles to imagine a future near a chicken coop. When her family objects to the union because he is uneducated, Chinonso sells most of his possessions to attend a college in Cyprus. But when he arrives he discovers there is no place at the school for him, and that he has been utterly duped by the young Nigerian who has made the arrangements.. Penniless, homeless, and furious at a world which continues to relegate him to the sidelines, Chinonso gets further away from his dream, from Ndali and the farm he called home." Author's note. 448 pp
