Historical novel set around ENGLAND (Birmingham)
Pauper, Brawler, and Slanderer
Location(s): Nigeria
Genre(s): Short Stories
Era(s): Timeless
Amos Tutuola’s tales, drawing on the Yoruba folk tradition and the unique rhythms and idiom of Nigerian English, combine the resonance of universal myth with airs on a range of human vagaries. The leading characters here, as signalled by their nicknames, have all been rejected by patrician parents and forced to set out on what becomes a ‘non-return’ journey–in the visible sense, at least.
