MADNESS - Ebelenna Esomnofu - Bog

Bag om MADNESS

When Nkem, an economics students at Heineken University, moves back to Nigeria from the United States after many months of ASUU strike in his country, a melodramatic war with Dr Okoye his beer- obsessed lecturer begins. The alcoholic has slept with Chioma, the boy's girlfriend, in exchange for good grades, Cabin biscuits and bread. And infuriatingly, the bread is not buttered, according to the painter called Ifenna who's Nkem's effeminate roommate and friend. The unexpected affair compels Nkem to throw the girl and the artist out of his heart. The war gets worse when Mrs Chiamaka, Okoye's colleague and soldier's wife who's desperate for a male child, joins the heartbroken Nkem to fight the enemy. Ifenna is also on Nkem's side, though he's busy running away from several faceless boys who want to murder him for being different. When it seems impossible for the two boys to graduate with decent results, or for Nkem to bring Chioma back into his life, Nkem must try to take a life or lives before leaving the university with his pride bruised.

Beskrivelse af MADNESS

When Nkem, an economics students at Heineken University, moves back to Nigeria from the United
States after many months of ASUU strike in his country, a melodramatic war with Dr Okoye his beer-
obsessed lecturer begins. The alcoholic has slept with Chioma, the boy's girlfriend, in exchange for good
grades, Cabin biscuits and bread. And infuriatingly, the bread is not buttered, according to the painter
called Ifenna who's Nkem's effeminate roommate and friend. The unexpected affair compels Nkem to
throw the girl and the artist out of his heart. The war gets worse when Mrs Chiamaka, Okoye's colleague
and soldier's wife who's desperate for a male child, joins the heartbroken Nkem to fight the enemy.
Ifenna is also on Nkem's side, though he's busy running away from several faceless boys who want to
murder him for being different.
When it seems impossible for the two boys to graduate with decent results, or for Nkem to bring
Chioma back into his life, Nkem must try to take a life or lives before leaving the university with his pride bruised.
