Osondu, winner of the 2009 Caine Prize for African Writing. In the tradition of Wole Soyinka, Nadine Gordimer, J.M. Coetzee, and Chinua Achebe (all patrons of the Caine Prize), Osondu’s stories are wise, soul-stirring, and deeply compelling. In electrifying prose, he articulate the struggles of Nigerian immigrants in America, and refugees, villagers, and ex-patriots in Africa. \u003cem\u003eVoice of America\u003c\/em\u003e marks the beginning for a brave and remarkable new voice in African Literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46827231346943,"sku":"9780061990878","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780061990878_s600x595.jpg?v=1779901326","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780061990878","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
