Book summary


This memoirist, the son of Saro-Wiwa--a Nigerian whose political execution was interpreted as a martyrdom--expresses the conflicts of growing up in the shadow of his late father's reputation. Here he attempts to separate the myth of his father from the man.


Media reviews


"[A] powerful account of what it means to grow up in the shadow of such a sainted father...[T]he later chapters possess a meditative depth and journalistic energy that make for a rewarding journey...Wiwa has found a way to carry forward his father's memory and convictions, troubling the myth while honoring the man's courage and cause."
