Chudi was a poor boy looking after his ailing father in the village. One day, he is sent to the big city to live with his uncle. However, his auntie hates him with a passion and has vowed to make his life miserable. How can he make it in the city if the odds are against him?
Chidi Amuta’s columns in major Nigerian newspapers and magazines have been compulsory reading for successive generations of Nigerians over the last two and a half decades. Easily one of the most respected and informed voices in contemporary Nigerian public discourse, Amuta’s writing stands out for its sheer intellectual sweep and an arresting command and control of the English language.
Amuta comes to the table with a consistently nationalistic perspective and an incisive analytical insight that is often prophetic. At once fearless and acerbic, he is unsparing and unfailingly engaging.
The arrival of a second wife causes a woman to reassess her marriage. Another faces up to tough choices in the wake of a military coup. A heroine from history lights the path for a modern girl on the road to Jenwi. A picture on a wall tells its own poignant story of sacrifice. A former cultist must confront an unspoken secret in his family.
A collection of short stories.
