LITTLE BIRDS AND ORDINARY PEOPLE BY DEJI HAASTRUP
Part memoir, part philosophical reflection, this book contains a collection of stories that encapsulate the coming-of-age of one man against the backdrop of a newly independent country, in flux. Delicate, analytical, and deeply detailed, Little Birds and Ordinary People provides a glance into Nigeria's changing landscape using one man’s life as a telescope for us all — as a guide, as a study, as a set of choices and the often jarring impact of their consequences.
