Written in the author's customary breezy style, with its deceptively simple locution, its fluid, mellifluous diction and syntactic grace, the work turns out to be not only a scintillating account of Ogunbiyi's personal life, but also in fact an unusually lucid and riveting profile of the adventure of an entire generation. There is a sorcery in Ogunbiyi's power of recall, an enchantment in his mastery of trope and idiom, and above all, a touching munificence in his collation of remembered events, such that this book will appeal to friends and foes alike.
