The copy pictured above is actually two novels (the other being 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts'), and I like them both a lot. In The Palm-Wine Drinkard (first published by Faber and Faber in 1952), Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola explores the sobering effects invading colonial powers have on indigenous populations, imposing 'civilization' through violence. Magic is performed and supernatural beings and ghosts naturally interact with human beings. Based on traditional Yoruban folktales, the narrative ironically depicts . The Palm-wine Drinkard ; And, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. The Palm-Wine Drinkard was followed up by My Life in the Bush of Ghosts in 1954 and then several other books in which Tutuola continued to explore Yoruba traditions and folklore. Amos Tutuola (1920 – 1997) was a largely self-taught Nigerian writer who became internationally praised for books based in part on Yoruba folktales, especially the phantasmagorical classic The Palm-Wine Drinkard (1952). In my opinion, The Palm-Wine Drinkard is somewhat a difficult novel to review considering the fact that it is unlike anything I have ever read before. Some of these pranks, one's mind went to those fantasy fairy tales of the likes of D.O Fagunwa/ Wole Soyinka in The Forest of a Thousand Deamons or Amos Tutuola's Palmwine Drinkard and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. You should definitely check out 'The Palm-Wine Drinkard'.
