I have read Foreign Gods, Inc. and enjoyed.
This well-crafted, well-plotted tale captivated me with dark humor and sensitivity against the background of the conflict of traditional and modernity, and the need to succeed and manipulation to achieve this success.

I will read more works by this author.

I've actually read Ndibe's first book, Arrows of Rain, which is still available as part of the African Writers Series here in Ghana. And the book club I belong to are planning to read Foreign Gods, Inc., which I personally recommended.

Beverly, I too read Foreign Gods and thought it was an excellent book. I wondered how the author would bring it to a believable end and he succeeded. A talented author.

We are featuring Ndibe for October! i am looking forward to reading Foreign Gods and I'm also going to try to take a stab at a few essays.

Foreign Gods, Inc. was a mesmerizing read.
