“The book is an important contribution to African intellectual history.
It offers a fresh and original interpretation of the life and work of
Amos Tutuola, but at the same time marks a substantial advance in the
ongoing epistemological debates on the study of Africa…. Based on his
concept of the incompleteness of human existence, Nyamnjoh opts for an
inclusive, dialogical and interdisciplinary approach. Of special
interest is the way in which he relates ethnography to fiction and his
focus on the real life experiences of ordinary people. This is a seminal
work which no doubt will have a significant impact on current
epistemological thinking.”
