My encounter with a prostitute and other stories - Paperback

by Promise Adiele (Author)

My Encounter with a Prostitute and Other Stories is a collection of twelve short stories that touch the raw nerves of Nigerian society. The narratives engage immediate human concerns such as the girl child/boy child dialectic, domestic violence, religious merchandise, greed, prostitution, and class conflict. The stories advance the frontiers of ongoing social debates by providing alternative, radical perspectives which challenge established norms and ways of viewing sundry issues besetting humanity. They question our hitherto convictions on various subjects, urging us to pause and think again. While some of the stories draw readers into the plot to become participants, others force readers to reconsider their standpoints and views on different issues. The public will find the collection stimulating and entertaining.
