Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A startling, densely poetic portrait of 1970s Ghana as it emerges from colonial ruleWinner of the Valco Fund Literary Award for Fiction and the Ghana Book AwardSearch Sweet Country follows the lives of an eclectic, interconnected group of Ghanaians living in and around the sprawling, chaotic… city of Accra in the mid-1970s. Bringing the city to life in dizzying, lyrical prose, Laing weaves a story filled with bizarre and often melancholy characters: an idealistic professor, a lovely young witch, a wide-eyed student, a corrupt politician and his hack sidekick, a business-savvy young woman, a healer, a bishop and a crazy man intent on founding his own village. Their collective narratives create a portrait of a country where colonialism is dying, but democracy remains elusive. Search Sweet Country is a timeless, near-forgotten gem by a virtuosic writer, as necessary now as when the book was first published. Like Joyce's Dublin and Dickens's London, Laing's Accra brims with both lush specificity and universal relevance. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
