Who Will Write the Great Lagos Book?
Soyinka has written Ake and Ibadan superbly. Achebe wrote Umuofia, though as a place that exists in the imagination. Adichie has written Nsukka, the diaspora, the Biafran past. Abani gave us a darker Lagos. But would any of these, read in the canonical sense, contend for the title of the Lagos book?
