Also add Sanchez's recent publication 'Diary of a Victorian Gentleman and Other Stories'.
White Tiger a great book.
I actually loved Rushdie's 'Enchantress of Florence'- though pretty different from his other books.

Omon Ra by Pelevin

Sorry just realised this is about Nigeria!!!Apologies.What about 'Last King of Scotland' by Giles Foden?
Can anyone recommend books re Kenya ( fiction an non fiction) for a friend going to live there.Know about James Fox 'White Mischief'. Interested in Kenyan authors
For Azerbaijan I recommend 'Ali and Nino' by Kurban Said and then 'The Orientalist' which is about the search for true identity of Said!
