Ngugi wa Thiong'o

Wizard of the Crow

The individual stories of characters both powerful and ordinary create a kaleidoscopic portrait of postcolonial Africa in the twentieth century, in a novel set in the Free Republic of Aburiria.

Alfredo santos

A great insight into African politics, social and religious beliefs. It’s a very log but entertaining book.

But behind this pillar of unity a battle for control of the Aburirian people rages. Among the contenders- the eponymous Wizard, an avatar of folklore and wisdom; the corrupt Christian Ministry; and the nefarious Global Bank. Informed by traditional African storytelling, Wizard of the Crowis widely considered Ngugi wa Thiong'o's masterpiece.
