I Love All My Wives - Kamau Mahakoe - Bog

Nommo Bawillka: Is he the Devil's Advocate or the Devil Incarnate? A rogue...or a redeemer?You will either love him to death or hate him like poison.Nommo is the charismatic and influential university lecturer, beloved of his students and almost worshipped by his women...of whom there are many. He lures them to his harem to sleep on his bed soaked in love-juice...or was it his sacred sanctuary? He has a bevy of exploits. Some leave, some stay, some observe from the sidelines. Whichever kind of woman you are, you will be able to relate to at least one woman in "I Love All My Wives." And if you're a virile, red-blooded stud, you'll certainly relate to Nommo.The backdrop is the heart of Kingston, Jamaica...not the exotic tropical paradise that most are accustomed to reading about, but the real-life innercity tenement, as turbulent and as volatile as Nommo's relationships.Nommo is also the Spearhead of the Lodge, Jamaica's response to the Black Power movement and the struggle for racial empowerment.Nathan Reece, Nommo's jealous arch-rival, thinks of him as an arrogant vagabond, who needs to be flushed from the university at all costs. Will Reece's efforts to remove Nommo backfire?Insightful and comprehensive, all the questions that have ever been asked about Polygamy and promiscuity; all the emotions that have ever been felt by those on the outside or within; all the arguments for and against; are delicately woven into the tapestry of this gem of a novel.So then, is he the ultimate womanising Casanova, or the valiant knight rescuing damsels in distress? Only you can decide.
