“Francis B. Nyamnjoh’s A Nose for Money is a uniquely detailed presentation of the causes and consequences of political instability in Mimboland (Cameroonian) society since Re- Unification. The society that is depicted is one that can only breed diseased and demented leaders…Nyamnjoh exposes his sharp and resolute concern for the fate of Mimbolanders groaning under a tottering but oppressive socio-political structure. Captured in a farcical and even absurdist style, A Nose for Money is a serious study of social maladjustment and political power.”
