What do you guys think about this book? I think it is very good and can be compared to any of the best books by Soyinka, Achebe or Amadi? |

@ Ibime, There are other threads for this book and author (more than one). If you had bothered to search, you'd have seen them. There is no need for the duplicity. |

yeah she did talk about sex, but l think she's only trying to be natural. she was educated abroad after she left U.I half way through her medicine course. she must have been exposed to the blunt nature of writing as we have in the west. Even in her short stories, her depiction of sex organs is direct, as we have in "my mother, the crazy african" were she mentioned a boy handling with her breast. What's more, she's no kid, she's trying to tell it as it is and her fans ain't complaining. i guess that her style with which she has to be known with. Hence you either accept her for who she is or not. I think i like her. |
