African Visions
This book synthesizes a remarkable corpus of research that details almost the entire history of Nigerian novels from the perspective of their writers, readers, and publishers. THEN, as if this weren't enough, the book turns to the novels themselves in order to analyze and catalog their contents. That Nigeria, itself, has a relatively confined number of authors and books that might be directly attributed to its nation does not undercut the importance of this contribution, which not only is massively comprehensive, but also suggests what role novels play outside a Western context.
