The fourteen stories in From Caves of Rotten Teeth deal with circumstances that reflect the day-to-day existence of modern African life. Although the stories may seem surreal the reader will recognize the truthfulness and realism with which they depict the lives of their characters. The author has an uncanny eye for detail and a deadly accurate, though sometimes satirical, ear. With these stories he has achieved a vision that is both lighthearted and profound.
‘In this collection, Barrett entrances the reader with his lush language and imagery that brings the essence of struggle alive . . . the effect on the reader’s imagination will last for a very long time’ —Uzodinma Iweala, author of Beasts of No Nation
‘A. Igoni Barrett’s prose captures, with enviable depth, the emotions and circumstances of his characters . . . from addiction to everyday survival, these stories are delivered with sincerity’ —Kaine Agary, author of Yellow Yellow
‘These stories share the same beauty of language, the same keen sense of observation . . . reading the collection is a journey into a world that is sometimes humorous, but very often a reminder of all that is wrong in our world’ —Chika Unigwe, author of The Phoenix
