pick6th book for #ReadingAfrica2022 #Nigeria 🇳🇬
I've read enough Tutuola now that there is a repetitive familiarity with his style & the nature of the episodic situations in which his characters find themselves, which is fine as I enjoy both.
There's a throwaway bit of the strange on page one in which Ajaiya introduces herself, saying that her story happened 200 years ago when she came into the world through other parents as a boy & not a girl. 👇🏼
Starting the day off with a PCR test followed by a cooked vegetarian breakfast at the Nostalgia Tea Rooms, with a little read.
PCR test because I was pinged by the NHS app as having had a close contact with an infected person, but no symptoms and a negative LFT, so I'm not worried about the result.
My sixth book for #ReadingAfrica2022 is from #Nigeria 🇳🇬
As I've read and enjoyed several of Amos Tutuola's books I've a high degree of confidence that I'll love this one, too.
In Ajaiyi's quest to improve his fortunes, he travels to unfamiliar places and meets with wizards, fire demons and unicorns. So, all in a typical day's work for one of Tutuola's protagonists!
