It's a rare person who can be both funny and wise at the same time.
Yet that is exactly the way to describe Nana Awere Damoah's
writings in this small but compelling short story collection about
contemporary life in Ghana. In it the reader will find Ghanaman in
traffic, or Ghanawoman paying the corrupt policeman. Either way,
one knows these are the words of a master story teller who handily
blurs the lines between laughing so hard it makes one cry, or
crying so hard it makes one laugh. I Speak of Ghana is an honest
journey of deft oration replete with the sounds (from the
harmonious to the cacophonic), smells (including the pleasant and
unpleasant), sights (from the eye-catching to the embarrassing),
frustrations, triumphs and the mundane - everything that makes the
Ghanaian experience finds its way into this book. Unlike the
typical ranting about Ghanaian situations, Nana performs an
insightful examination of the heart of the matter. Dissimilar to
empty praise, Nana thoroughly embraces the issues that give us hope
as people connected to Ghana. Narrated with humor, the book is
Nana's eloquence at its best.
