“Ochiagha decries the tokenist approach adopted by some Western academics who overlook the novel’s sophistication and entreats us to appreciate its subtle complexity.” * Times Literary Supplement *
“Ochiagha’s work is a seminal piece presenting fresh and illuminating information to literary scholars and Africanists alike, an excellent and laudable update to a timeless classic!” * African Studies Review *
