Synopsis
This collection of short stories is set in Nigeria and reflects the mad, exotic and often dangerous chaos which reigns there. They include jumbled up voodoo stories, stories of shanty towns and of men from the villages seeking their fortunes in the streets and filthy gutters of the new towns.

Review
"Another piercing collection of short stories... Masterful" (Time Out)
"There are many novelists who write as well as Ben Okri, many who share his gift for recreating the texture of everyday life, many who can cut through the surface to expose, as he does, the myths of our elders and betters use to keep us in our place. There are very few novelists who can do all three. The fact that Ben Okri has done so in short stories, without ever losing his balance, his humour or his edge, makes his accomplishment all the more exceptional" (Observer)
"In a few brief sentences Ben Okri captures the arrogance and faceless indifference of the military forces which patrol the margins of these stories" (Independent)
"Stamped with the ease of a truly original imagination" (Wole Soyinka)
Book Description
This collection of short stories by Ben Okri brings to life the violence, frustration, humour and beauty of everyday life in Nigeria.
