Orphan

by Okello Oculi

ORPHAN is firstly a literary innovation - a brilliantly rich and explosive piece of writing. But it is also a profound commentary on the discontents of Africa today. The author himself describes it as "a village opera," but the parochial setting among the grasslands of northern Uganda is merely the instrument on which he plays a passionate song for the soul of a continent.
