Description
"The trauma of Nigeria's encounter with the West provides the theme for these engaging stories of village and urban life. Introduced by a fable and concluded with a lively retelling of an Igbo epic of resistance to 'The Pink Men from across the seven seas,' To Tangle With Tarzan offers Uwazurike a broad canvas for his intention." -Raymond R. Patterson
