“Tutuola’s tales of frontiers, of incompleteness, of crossroads and
conviviality advance profound epistemological perspectives on being and
knowledge that we will do well to acknowledge. Nyamnjoh positions
Tutuola as a vernacular theorist whose narratives are a fount of
hermeneutical and epistemological insight. Much is often made of the
idea of vernacular theory but this book is an exemplary instance of
putting that idea into practice.”
