Description
A young man's journey to success in a vibrant Nigerian city forms the heart of Cyprian Ekwensi's early masterpiece. Amusa Sango travels from the countryside to the bustling metropolis, seeking a career as a crime reporter and leading a dance band that charms the hearts of city women. With swagger and bravado, Ekwensi's novel captures the energy and excitement of West African music and culture. As Amusa navigates the city's streets, he finds stories, success, sex, and maybe even love - but can he hold on to what he has? This vivid coming-of-age tale is a delicious blend of music, politics, and urban life, with Ekwensi's signature style and voice shining through.
