Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

The narration by Anniwaa Buachie and Thabang Makhubela is a standout feature. Each narrator perfectly captures the distinct personality of their characters, making it easy to differentiate between them even when the stories overlap. Kuku's writing is sharp and unflinching, particularly in his depiction of everyday Lagosian life with an undercurrent of dark humor that is both relatable and challenging to digest. However, some stories are a bit disjointed, which might make following along slightly difficult at times. Despite this minor critique, 'Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad' remains a captivating listen that offers a fresh perspective on urban life, making it an essential addition to anyone's audiobook collection.
