Noo Saro-Wiwa was brought up in England but spent her childhood
summers in Nigeria - a country she considered an unglamorous
parallel universe, devoid of all creature comforts. After her
father, activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, was murdered there in 1995, Noo
rarely returned to the land of her birth. More than a decade later,
she decided to come to terms with Nigeria. From the exuberant chaos
of Lagos, to the calm beauty of the eastern mountains; the
eccentricity of a Nigerian dog show to the empty Transwonderland
Amusement Park, Noo combines travelogue with an exploration of
corruption, identity and religion. Looking for Transwonderland is
the first major non-fiction narrative of modern Nigeria; an
engaging portrait of a country whose beauty and variety few of us
will experience, depicted with wit and insight by a refreshing new
voice in contemporary travel writing.
