When Ofeyi, who writes advertising jingles for the Cocoa Corporation, is sent on a promotional tour of his unnamed country, he arrives at a coastal village whose remote location has long kept it insulated from the corrupt national government. Here Ofeyi discovers a traditional way of life that is still flourishing and he is inspired to spread its life-affirming values to his suffering country. But challenging the forces of greed and exploitation provokes a horrific response, and when Ofeyi’s beloved wife goes missing, he must travel across a war-scarred landscape in search of her. Infusing the myth of Orpheus with his signature lyricism and moral profundity, Soyinka creates a dazzling story about the clash between idealism and reality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Food Bookstore and Culture Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619230470293,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/7419\/2789\/files\/9780593467190_1.jpg?v=1763142586","url":"https:\/\/www.blackfoodshop.com\/products\/season-of-anomy","provider":"Black Food Bookstore and Culture Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
