A simple but very descriptive novel bordering on superstitions, community and woes of humanity

Chinua Achebe’s most powerful work (in my opinion!) Fresh out of colonialism, the people of Kangan state are trying to find their footing, navigating a dictatorship and losing hope.

It is an angry, prophetic piece.

Written by Mongo Beti.

This is a coming of age story of Jean-Marie Medza, whose mission to Kala takes him through unexpected changes, lessons and experiences that transform him.

This season is dedicated to my father. I’ll be reviewing some of the books we read and discussed while he was here. Whenever you listen, please say a prayer for his soul🙏🏽

Oh, I left the raw edits on purpose. There was no need to fine-tune it.
