My apple for lunch was almost cut as the wrong shade of green. Should have gone with the tangerine (but I ate it already).
The book is good so far, btw.

bailedTaduno returns to Lagos from exile and discovers that his girlfriend has been abducted by the police and that not a single soul recognizes or even remembers him. This surreal, folktalish gimmick felt off to me from the get-go; by the halfway mark, it had become downright irritating. Despite the great writing and the wonderful audio narration, I shall not continue. I bet I won‘t remember that poor guy, Taduno, either.
pickThis book is simple and heartbreaking. Odafe Atogun has a short, direct style that is funny at times and always full of feeling. Taduno is a lovely character that you will root for from page one.
