The author of Foreign Gods, Inc. and Arrows of Rain tells his own immigrant''s tale, where what is lost in translation is often as hilarious as it is harrowing.
This memoir relates Okey Ndibe''s move from Nigeria to America, where he came to edit the influential - but forever teetering on the verge of insolvency - African Commentary magazine. Recounting stories of Ndibe''s relationships with Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, and other literary figures; examining differences between Nigerian and American etiquette and politics; exposing racial profiling; considering American stereotypes about Africa (and vice-versa); and juxtaposing African folk tales with Wall Street trickery.
