The prophet of Zongo Street : stories
"In the tradition of rich African storytelling that mixes myth with modernity, The Prophet of Zongo Street is a collection of stories that calls to mind Ben Okri and Chinua Achebe. Mohammed Naseehu Ali, the tradition's acclaimed new practitioner, offers up ten powerful and beautifully rendered tales. Set primarily on the fictitious Zongo Street - a close-knit community of wonderfully quirky characters who hold tight to superstition, religion, and family - these stories are anchored by the uproarious, the embarrassing, the poignant, and the rawest moments of life."
