The recent popularity of Nigerian fiction coincided with the rise of Nigeria and its middle class.  What constraints does this put on Nigerian fiction, if any?  And why do we want to read fiction from rapidly developing countries like Nigeria?  Is it because we want to partake in cultural tourism?  Or is it because we seek out books that reflect our liberal democratic values?  Join us as we ponder these questions and more in our series finale.

Our book club discussion continues here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CanonicalPod where you can also find show notes, credits and extended discussions for every episode.

Next week, we begin our Climate Fiction series Apocalypse Soon! with A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet.
