About

Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth by Wole Soyinka: This Nobel prize winning book tells a satirical story of modern Nigeria.

Covering corruption, religion and power in Nigeria as a group of old friends investigate the selling of body parts.

Exaggerated characters and a complex plot come together to give us a window into political and social life in the country.
