Book Launch: The Funeral Did Not End

The Book: The Funeral Did Not End,  
The collection presents twenty punchy stories, adroitly written by a tempered writer who has successfully merged his penchant for social commentary with his capacity for observing that same society with a keen eye and a mind that understands perfectly well, how to negotiate the threshold where the profound meets the mundane.

Review
 "Amazing! Brilliant! The claim that the short story is an underdeveloped genre in Africa has finally been laid to rest by Sylva Nze Ifedigbo in this scintillating debut. Ifedigbo is the undisputable master of his landscape and his characters. This is art tout court." - Pius Adesanmi, winner of the Penguin Prize for African Writing
