Offer Description

Voice of America is a powerful and unforgettable collection of short stories by E.C. Osondu, winner of the 2009 Caine Prize for African Writing. Set between Nigeria and the United States, these tales capture the complex interplay of migration, identity, cultural dislocation, and the fragile bonds of family and homeland.
✨ In Voice of America, readers are taken on a journey from dusty refugee camps and rural villages to bustling Lagos and the quiet suburbs of America.
✨ With stories like "Waiting", where two refugee boys cling to hope inside a camp, and "A Simple Case", a gritty tale of survival in a local jail, Osondu brings forth intimate portraits of everyday Nigerians struggling for meaning, escape, and dignity.
✨ Other tales explore fractured dreams of immigrants, culture shock, marital strife, and the haunting pull of home.
