Publisher's Synopsis
A dazzling collection of stories, The Prophet of Zongo Street takes readers to a world that seamlessly blends African folklore and myths with modernity. Set primarily on Zongo Street, a fictitious community in West Africa, the stories - which are reminiscent of the works of Ben Okri and Amos Tutuola - introduce readers to wonderfully quirky characters and the most uproarious, poignant and rawest moments of life. There's Kumi, the enigmatic title character who teaches a young boy to ask questions of his traditions. And as Ali moves his characters to America we meet Felix.
