A stunning reissue of Amos Tutuola\'s debut novel The Palm-Wine Drinkard, first published by Faber in 1952, along with the release of Tutuola\'s complete works into ebook for the first time.
Klappentext:
Par. This classic novel tells the phantasmagorical story of an alcoholic man and his search for his dead palm-wine tapster. As he travels through the land of the dead, he encounters a host of supernatural and often terrifying beings - among them the complete gentleman who returns his body parts to their owners and the insatiable hungry-creature. Mixing Yoruba folktales with what T. S. Eliot described as a \'creepy crawly imagination\', The Palm-Wine Drinkard is regarded as the seminal work of African literature.
\'Brief, thronged, grisly and bewitching.\' Dylan Thomas, Observer
\'Tutuola\'s art conceals - or rather clothes - his purpose, as all good art must do.\' Chinua AchebePar.
