The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born by Ayi Kwei Armah

4.0

Ayi Kwei Armah is very descriptive and poetic in the way he writes. We never know the main character's name. It is though he can be any one and is also no one. It could be that due to the nature of his stance against a corruption in his society, coupled with him being 'poor' not knowing his name adds to understanding his position in this society.

A beautiful piece and with the poetry in the title it lives up to this poetic nature throughout.
