Waiting

A largely allegorical exploration of the loneliness of the rootless, The Waiting radiates from metropolitan Ghana to encompass the world. The second book of Martin Egblewogbe, whose hilarious The Gonjon Pin lent its title to the 2014 Caine Prize anthology, it sparkles with local myth while paying homage to Kafka, often with hilarious outcomes.

O explorare in mare parte alegorica a singuratatii celor fara radacini, The Waiting iradiaza din Ghana metropolitana pentru a cuprinde lumea. A doua carte a lui Martin Egblewogbe, al carei hilar The Gonjon Pin si-a imprumutat titlul antologiei din 2014 a Premiului Caine, straluceste cu mitul local in timp ce ii aduce un omagiu lui Kafka, adesea cu rezultate hilare.
