Title: A real gem
Review: Occasionally, a book is published that makes you want to sing and dance, and tell everyone you know to go and read it. Chris Abani's, Graceland, is one of these books. The story is about Elvis, a young man living in the slums of contemporary Lagos. With the skill of a master writer, Abani depicts the humour and pathos of life in one slice of modern day Africa. While the setting is refreshingly unique, its themes and characters are recognizably universal. This is a book that will appeal to anyone looking for good literature, and especially to those who have an interest in Africa, and are longing for more stories set in this continent.
