New Review - Elnathan John - Your Man (Sentinel Nigeria)

The latest addition to the website is my review of Nigerian author Elnathan John's short story, Your Man.

Your Man is one of those very rare stories which manages to capture the essence of a conflict without moralising for one side or the other. John chooses to tell his story in the second-person perspective, which forces the reader to become a participatory member of the long-running, seemingly never ending brutality and bloodshed of cultural collisions. The story is set in, and identifies most with, Nigeria - but it's themes are sadly universal, and applicable most everywhere. A powerful and affecting piece.
