Your thoughts here gives reason to curiosity, at least this woman is now interested in knowing more about not just the author, but the novel. I doubt if anyone brave enough to delve into the intricacies of politics and Nigeria in one subject, would resist the urge of mixing realism and fiction. Ours is a history mixed with so much vulgarism, the few but veritable truths are seemingly the only crutch to lean on. Then again, a philosophers mind encompasses every angle, while a writers seeks the thrill of adventure 🙂
