Caracteristici

'A beautifully crafted piece of theatre that takes what it needs from Western dramatic conventions and then does what it wants to do - which is to commemorate and commiserate with the daily life of Nigerians. On the surface it's a straight slice of life, eavesdropped and reported - one day in the vibrant and violent, cruel and colourful life of a street corner in post-oil-boom Lagos . . . He does it with consummate skill, drawing threads of social observation, political passion, emotional tension and tough intellectual debate into the complex rhythms of a jazz symphony . . . Both accessible and poetic, very warm and funny and deeply moving in its tragic, complicated argument . . . a masterpiece.' Guardian
