"You see, my people, my motto this night is that this world is not equal. One who has a head has no money to buy hat and one who has money to buy hat has no head on which to put it."
Can't argue with that ??

This is my third book by Amos Tutuola, and I've ordered some others, thinking I might have a little binge-read. I love his idiosyncratic language, which seems to have been critically appreciated and deprecated in equal measure.
This book is a mini 1001 Nights, the narrator being an old village-chief who, over 10 nights, entertains his people with stories of his youthful adventures in the land of the Jungle Witch Feather Woman. 👇🏼
