About the Book

«Una vez que has oído una voz como la suya, no vuelves a ver las cosas del mismo modo.» Toni Morrison

Crónicas desde el país de la gente más feliz de la Tierra es una divertida y amarga sátira política sobre la corrupción en forma de novela de misterio. En una Nigeria imaginaria, pero muy parecida a la real, un grupo de pícaros, predicadores, emprendedores y políticos se ve inmerso en una trama sobre tráfico de miembros humanos robados de un hospital. Y el médico que desvela ese turbio negocio se lo cuenta a su íntimo amigo, el hombre de moda en el país, que está a punto de incorporarse a un puesto importante en las Naciones Unidas. Pero alguien parece dispuesto a defender el secreto, y pronto queda claro que el enemigo es poderoso, y puede estar en cualquier lado.

A la vez festín narrativo, historia de intriga y denuncia mordaz de la corrupción, esta novela, la primera de Soyinka en casi cincuenta años, es también un llamamiento conmovedor a movilizarse contra el abuso de poder.

«De manera incuestionable, el autor más versátil y probablemente el mejor de África.» The New York Times Book Review

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first Black winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature gives us a tour de force, his first novel in nearly half a century: a savagely satiric, gleefully irreverent, rollicking fictional meditation on how power and greed can corrupt the soul of a nation.

In an imaginary Nigeria, a cunning entrepreneur is selling body parts stolen from Dr. Menka's hospital for use in ritualistic practices. Dr. Menka shares the grisly news with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer, and Yoruba royal, Duyole Pitan-Payne. The life of every party, Duyole is about to assume a prestigious post at the United Nations in New York, but it now seems that someone is deter­mined that he not make it there. And neither Dr. Menka nor Duyole knows why, or how close the enemy is, or how powerful.

Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth is at once a literary hoot, a crafty whodunit, and a scathing indictment of political and social corrup­tion. It is a stirring call to arms against the abuse of power from one of our fiercest political activists, who also happens to be a global literary giant.
