barnitka 's review for:

An Orchestra of Minorities by Chigozie Obioma
5.0

It's possibly the best Nigerian book - classics aside - that I read recently. I lately almost gave up on Nigerian authors - their books more of an Africa Magic melodrama-style but this, wow. The language, the narrative, the gods, finally treated with due respect. Again, other Nigerian books - classics aside - I read use gods for cheap entertainment. The reading wasn't easy to me but it was this way more rewarding - I could taste and enjoy the writing slowly. Now let Mr Obioma write about Borno State and my life will be complete.
