A Man of the People

Synopsis

From the renowned author of the african trilogy, a political satire about an unnamed african country navigating a path between violence and corruption as minister for culture, former school teacher m. A. Nanga is a man of the people, as cynical as he is charming, and a roguish opportunist. When odili, an idealistic young teacher, visits his former instructor at the ministry, the division between them is vast. But in the eat-and-let-eat atmosphere, odili's idealism soon collides with his lusts—and the two men's personal and political tauntings threaten to send their country into chaos.
