A review by samfah
The Palm-Wine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola
2.0
I have never wanted to rewrite a book so much in my life. I’ll be honest... I was barely paying attention in the last third—and this is a 100 page book.
This would be so good as a collection of short stories/fairytales. I’m sorry but this reads like a bad diary. There’s no excitement, no tension, no pacing. But the concept is so golden that I am angry.
Also my first wish when posed with the genie-egg was for a friendly dragon which I think says too much about me.
