Sometimes I think my inability to enjoy perfectly fine genre fiction is due to some kind of internalized snobbery (which might be!) but then I find pieces like this, which are wonderfully written on top of being just pure fun and I am reminded that I am, indeed, capable to enjoy a good thriller. The author just has to know how to write

I’m convinced this book has such a low rating because most people didn’t understand a word of what Soyinka was writing.

First chapter: religious cult vibes. Second chapter: scathing political satire. It should also be a murder mystery. If this doesn’t become one of my favorite books of all time I’ll be. So sad.
