The Old Man in a State House & Other Stories by TANURE OJAIDE
The Old Man in a State House and Other Stories is a literary canvas which captures the restless matrix that is today's Africa: the corruptive in uence of a corrosive oil economy, environmental degradation, wealth and hubris, love, and more. It imaginatively takes the reader on an excursion into the human condition.

Tanure Ojaide has published sixteen collections of poetry, a memoir, three novels, two short story collections, and scholarly works. He has won numerous literary prizes and is currently the Frank Porter Graham Professor of Africana Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
