Quotations and Literature Forum

I was wondering if anyone has read this book, it is by African writer Ayi Kwei Armah. There was an article in a magazine I read, of the Top 50 African artists and he was listed among them, and the book was mentioned. I googled it and found an overview of what it was about, and it is one of those things I am on the fence about. One of those things, where it could be interesting, or not.

So I was currious if anyone who acutally read the book could give me thier thoughts upon it to help me decide.
