On a ubiquitous Friday evening in August, a chance encounter with Abigail, an attractive young woman, Obinna, a student pharmacist in a teaching hospital in Owerri, meets for the first time, transports him back to his childhood. Over a series of conversations that last a day, he tells her tales from his childhood that highlight the ephemeral nature of dreams and their transient relationship. And as he narrates to Abigail the story of his family?s move to a new house and his creation of a fantastical cartoon country called Rome, the magic of his childhood comes alive. With each recollection, the parallel worlds of his past and present intertwine, revealing a deeply moving tale of the bittersweet journey from boyhood to adulthood.
When God Burns?a City?is an experimental, meditative, and nostalgic novel about growing up, finding oneself,?and the necessary pain that comes with that evolution. Interwoven in every sentence is a thread of yearning, of a time when people created worlds from their dreams, and how these worlds often shrink into oblivion with the emergence of adult realities.
