O knihe
"aubade at night or serenade in the morning" investigates the etymology of Nigeria's notoriety for systemic corruption and insecurity. It narrates how the nation is scarred by episodes of terrorist attacks leaving a number of families broken forever; revealing its major actors as corrupt, inept leaders and the Boko Haram insurgent groups. It x-rays how lawlessness brings the nation to its knee and confronts the persecution of citizens by the Police who should protect them.
Furthermore, while underscoring the Nigerianness of the people, the collection goes deeply into the demystification of fate and grief, narrates the plights of boy child amidst the burden placed upon them and how they are abandoned while placing focus on the girl child. In the end, it shares a crumb of the author's personal life vis-a-vis family, love, heartbreak and hope, thereby generally exploring the theme of identity of him as a verisimilitude of any other child from this country.
This collection is unique for its experimentation of styles and forms (avant-garde) and its usage of natural and mundane images to probe the themes of patriotism and identity. The duality of effects of every picturesque showcases intensity of experience through velocity of language and emotional ethos.
