Amos Tutuolo - My Life in the Bush of ghosts

Are you tired of reading the same predictable bestsellers and want to argue about something truly wild at your next book club? Join us as we dive into Amos Tutuola’s „My Life in the Bush of Ghosts“, a chaotic, hallucinatory masterpiece of African modernism that makes Alice in Wonderland look like a boring trip to the grocery store! We will follow a young boy who wanders into a spirit world where he gets turned into a horse, trapped in a copper bag, and marries a ghost lady with a sore foot—all written in a famously eccentric, rhythmic style that reads like a myth told by a delightfully unhinged storyteller. Come along to swap theories on Yoruba folklore, surrealist body-horror, and what exactly constitutes a "good" ghost marriage over great drinks and even better company. Bring your sense of adventure, leave your logic at the door, and let’s find out together how many of us would actually survive the Bush of Ghosts!
