Description

‘Nearly All the Men in Lagos are Mad’ is a collection of twelve short stories featuring characters with unique voices and stories that represent the diverse class, gender and ethnic melting pot that is Lagos.

There’s a story of a young lady who tries to find her oyibo soulmate on the streets of Lagos; another of a pastor’s wife who defends her husband from an allegation of adultery; a wife takes a knife to her husband’s penis; a night of lust between a rising musician and his Instagram baddies takes an unexpected turn.

From Ikorodu to Yaba, Ilupeju to Victoria Island, the stories underscore wit, humor, wisdom, and sensitivity, the perils of trying to find lasting love and companionship in Africa’s most notorious city that will prove universal and illuminating.

There’s a story behind every hustling, hopeful, striving Lagosian trying to make their way to a better life and Damilare Kuku’s characterisations are brilliant distillations of this recognizable mindset.

Every story is layered; these are people and choices you may recognize in yourself and the people you know. Ultimately, these stories will make you laugh, think, feel and remind us all that we are not alone.
