Descrierea cărții
The author of Foreign Gods, Inc. and Arrows of Rain tells his own immigrant's tale, where what is lost in translation is often as hilarious as it is harrowing. Okey Ndibe's funny, charming, and penetrating memoir tells of his move from Nigeria to America, where he came to edit the influential--but forever teetering on the verge of insolvency--African Commentary magazine. It recounts stories of Ndibe's relationships with Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, and other literary figures
examines the differences between Nigerian and American etiquette and politics
recalls an incident of racial profiling just thirteen days after he arrived in the US, in which he was mistaken for a bank robber
considers American stereotypes about Africa (and vice-versa)
and juxtaposes African folk tales with Wall Street trickery. All these stories and more come together in a generous, encompassing book about the making of a writer and a new American.
