Love is Power or Something Like That
Descriere
Where sex is a currency, or a weapon.
Where power ends in corruption, or violence.
Where the worst thing to happen is for the best, sometimes.Where love is power, or something like that.In these nine blistering stories cavort jealous husbands, kissing cousins, teenage internet hustlers, democratic bus rides, home exorcisms and bowls of dubious catfish peppersoup: this is a searing, savage portrait of an utterly modern Nigeria.Dark yet disarming, in prose that is tough, vigorous and immediately distinctive, Love is Power, Or Something Like That is a phenomenal short story collection from a palpably talented new writer.
