The first African novel published in English outside of Africa. Written in Pidgin English and based on Yoruba folklore, it concerns a man following his brewer into the land of the dead and encountering spirits and shifting realities. 

Labelled grotesque and barbaric upon initial publication, it is now considered one of the most important texts in the African literary canon.
