Críticas
The power of music to stir memory and move the hardest heart permeates Taduno's Song . . . I urge people to read this unforgettable new voice, writing in polished prose about how it feels to be silenced -- ANITA SETHI * * Observer * * This quiet novel is an original. It is as if Odafe Atogun has plunged into the depths of the sea of Nigeria's history and returned with a leviathan, and invited us to see - and be amused, troubled, scared, and even angry. And we cannot help but look -- Chigozie Obioma, Booker-Shortlisted author of THE FISHERMEN A heartfelt and imaginative story told with sincerity and compassion -- PETINA GAPPAH, author of An Elegy for Easterly and The Book of Memory Burning with magic and loss, exile and return, beauty and heartache, Taduno's Song is a colossal epic, disguised as a small novel -- MARLON JAMES, Booker Prize-winning author of A Brief History Of Seven Killings Beautifully written and thoroughly engaging . . . Atogun is a writer with untold potential * * The Student * * Atogun's debut novel is a dystopian satire in which a retelling of the Orpheus myth is spiced up with fantastical and Kafkaesque elements while also invoking the memory of Nigerian musical icon Fela Kuti. As political as it is, the characters are never reduced to mere cyphers and Atogun keeps us in suspense to the very end * * Glasgow Sunday Herald * *
