A review by the_wanderer
An Orchestra of Minorities by Chigozie Obioma

4.0

In Chigozie Obioma's sophomore novel, following the marvelous The Fisherman, he takes the reader through a tribunal of sorts narrated by the chi of the protagonist, Chinonso. We, along with Chuku, are required to hear this testimony in its entirety and make a judgement on Chinonso's actions. In remarkable prose, Obioma gives us a glimpse of Igbo Cosmology and Philosphy through exquisite prose and intelligent use of structure and form. I did find myself losing focus during the second act, but overall this is a wonderful novel.
