Welcome to Lagos — Chibundu Onuzo
▻https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jan/18/welcome-to-lagos-by-chibundu-onuzo-review
The Lagos novel has become a genre in itself, with an outstanding list of practitioners: Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Wole Soyinka, Sefi Atta, Ben Okri, Teju Cole ... It is almost a rite of passage for Nigerian authors, for Lagos is #Nigeria in microcosm, and there is no understanding the country without understanding the city. With her new book, Chibundu Onuzo (right) appears to be seeking to redefine the genre.
(…) “#Lagos is no different from anywhere, except there are more people, and more noise, and more.”
