Item description from the seller

Renowned for his novels, Michael Afenfia ventures into new territory with The Head of the Baptist, his debut collection of stories and poems. While exploring new genres, Afenfia’s writing remains true to his signature style – clear prose, a vibrant array of characters, and the persistent struggles of Nigerian emigres in Canada. This collection is poised to attract new readers to his work, showcasing his talent. Longtime fans will recognise what they’ve always known – Michael Afenfia is a writer who confidently embraces his unique voice.

– Chimeka Garricks, author of Tomorrow Died Yesterday & A Broken People’s Playlist

Michael Afenfia’s conspiratorial writing style masterfully weaves Nigerian history and realities into his storytelling. His stories and poems reveal the consequences of blind adherence to tradition, authority, and familial hierarchy. A remarkable collection.

– Dolapo Marinho, author of Smoke and Ashes.

Afenfia masterfully blends past and present, crafting intricate tales of loss, hope, faith, love, morality, purpose, self-perception, and authenticity. His bold and thought-provoking writing offers readers deep reflections on human nature and society.

– Shehu Zock-Sock, playwright and author of Heavy.
