Description:

It feels like an Italo Calvino or Borges novel. Or something Kafka, Leonora Carrington, Clarice Lispector, Kobo Abe, Amos Tutuola would write. It is uncanny, metaphysical and it creates scenes that continuously loop over and over in my head. I will place it under Nigerian philosophical fiction. there is no fluff.
