Wizard of the Crow

Enter the fantastical and fiercely satirical world of the Free Republic of Aburiria, a nation suffocating under the tyrannical rule of a megalomaniac dictator. This grand, epic novel chronicles the hilarious misadventures of Kamĩtĩ, an unemployed graduate who reluctantly adopts the persona of the powerful "Wizard of the Crow," an avatar of hope and folklore. Alongside the revolutionary Nyawĩra, he uses wit and a touch of magical realism to challenge the regime's oppressive authority, which is obsessed with building the ludicrous "Marching to Heaven" skyscraper. More than a comic fable, this postcolonial masterpiece is a profound allegory that critiques political corruption, neocolonialism, and the enduring resilience of the human spirit.
