Having read two novels by Okey Ndibe, I thought I'd check out his memoir. I would recommend it even if you've never read his novels. Interesting, insightful yet funny. It's one of those memoirs that makes you want to actually meet the author in person.

The audiobook was narrated by Peter Jay Fernandez. At first, I found his detached, almost amused-sounding tone to clash with the text, but within a few chapters, the text started matching the narrator's tone. I wonder if he should have sounded a bit less detached at the beginning, before the book became more humorous.
