Sobre este artículo
New York:: SOHO Press,, (2014). First edition -. Near fine in illustrated wrappers (toning to pages) . Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. ) A novel that is both a "taut, literary thriller and an indictment of greed's power to subsume all things, including the sacred." Fueled by desperation, Ike, a Nigerian immigrant barely eking out a living as a New Yorl cab driver sets out to steal the statue of an ancient war deity from his home village and sell it to a New York gallery. A book described as "a meditation on the dreams, promises and frustrations of the immigrant life in America; the nature and impact of religious conflicts; an examination of the ways in which modern culture creates or heightens infatuation with the 'exotic,' including the desire to own strange objects and hanker after ineffable illusions; and an exploration of the shifting nature of memory." 332 pp.
