Commenting about this book, Mr. Illemakin Soyinka, son of Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka said: ""Dead on Arrival" is a story of parallels. It mirrors the suffering, deprivation and the foibles of a village in Nigeria's Biafra and also symbolizes the larger society full of confounding contradictions.

ReplyDeleteWell, I am going to buy the kindle version but I think this novel is too short 169 page. I'll finish it in a sitting Mr. Paul, try to make your next book longer Chimamanda has shown us Nigerian writers can write up to 450 pages of novel. Thank you.

ReplyDeletei must get daht book. love literature
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that stories/announcements such as these can only generate a few comments. Publish something about some half naked person or scandal and comments pour in. Linda publish o
ReplyDeleteWe need to sound the story of the Biafran genocide loud and clear. You all want it muted cos it did not affect you. Every family in Igbo land lost someone,women lost their husbands and children to Nigerian bullets and starvation,entire families got wiped out,the pain is ever there, and therefore the memories will never go away. Pls also read " In Biafra Africa died". Our children need to know our history. More books pls. We speaking out now!
