“When a writer of tragic as well as comic genius combines both in the same work, it can make very interesting reading. Linus Asong has attained that rare mélange in Stranger in His Homeland. His fabulous humour comes to the fore, so too does his somber tragedy and his breathless suspense. If this novel takes us back chronologically, it also takes us forward up the ladder of mature craftsmanship…. The central action of this novel is the tragic encounter between Antony’s complex character and a social and cultural milieu in which that character cannot truly exist with itself.”
