Summary Annotation "These stories are set in different localities in Africa and Cameroon. The author in a lucid manner explores the theme of women lib - the African way - in the lead story. Ebenye, the protagonist, representing the sharp-witted African woman cannot understand why she should cook food without tasting of it. So she decides to take the bold step of eating a piece of the python that she has been ordered to cook for the men of her community. The other stories tackle themes of corruption, poverty, alcoholism, endurance, love and more."--BOOK JACKET.
