This classic novel tells the phantasmagorical story of an alcoholic
man and his search for his dead palm-wine tapster. As he travels
through the land of the dead, he encounters a host of supernatural
and often terrifying beings - among them the complete gentleman who
returns his body parts to their owners and the insatiable
hungry-creature. Mixing Yoruba folktales with what T. S. Eliot
described as a 'creepy crawly imagination', The Palm-Wine Drinkard
is regarded as the seminal work of African literature. 'Brief,
thronged, grisly and bewitching.' Dylan Thomas, Observer 'Tutuola's
art conceals - or rather clothes - his purpose, as all good art
must do.' Chinua Achebe
