Description
“The Orchestra of Minorities” is a masterpiece by Nigerian writer Chigozie Obioma, who made the Booker Prize 2019 shortlist. This is a piercing novel-odyssey about fighting fate—and how even the kindest heart can be filled with dark bitterness under its blows. The drama of an ordinary person, infused with Igbo mythology, unfolds in the atmosphere of modern Africa.
Chinonso is a young Nigerian farmer who loves his birds passionately. But one night he meets a woman trying to jump into a muddy river. Saving her becomes the beginning of love—yet Chinonso is no match for Ndali. To win his beloved, he sells everything he owns and goes to Cyprus to get an education. But soon it turns out he was cruelly deceived: Chinonso is left alone in a foreign country—without money and without a roof over his head.
Like an Odysseus, he drifts further and further from his dream and from home. “Not many contemporary novels are capable of reaching the virtuoso sound that Obioma gives to his text, skillfully combining English, Igbo, and colorful Anglo-African phrases. The story is full of cruelty, and yet its central theme is a plea for mercy for the most fragile of all earthly creatures—the son of man.” — Guardian
