Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Old Man in a State House and Other Stories is a literary canvas which captures the restless matrix that is todayís Africa: the corruptive influence of a corrosive oil economy, environmental degradation, wealth and hubris, love, and more. It imaginatively takes the reader on an excursion into the human condition. |
