5.0 out of 5 stars
Crazy dreams,
By Edwin Bentley "pancras 1959" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Palm Wine Drinkard (Paperback)
Weird surrealistic fantasy stuff, but very compelling and an addictive joy. Unclassifiable, but rather similar to the "Famished Road" genre of Ben Okri. It must have made an enormous impact in the 1950s!

Best african storytelling prose ever!,

This review is from: The Palm-Wine Drinkard and His Dead Palm-Wine Tapster in the Dead's Town (Hardcover)
Very nice and naive book. My first ecnounter with written African oral literature. Avery graphic tale! 'Palm Wine Drunkard' is simply pure, ludicrous and laughable fun.

Surrealy inventive.,
By
This review is from: The Palm Wine Drinkard (Paperback)
Though Tutuola did not consider himself a writer, more a collector of folk stories, this does not affect how affecting the 'Palm-Wine Drinkard' can be. I have never read anything quite so surreal, linguistically inventive or bizzarely compelling. Anyone with an interest in West African culture, folk tales in general or the stranger side of the human imagination should own a copy.
