The Passion of the Pen

Sean Ingram’s style reminds me of The Palmwine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola, one of the pioneers of African literature in Anglophone West Africa. His very witty use of symbolism is reminiscent of Beaudelaire’s Albatros and Les Fleurs Du Mal (Flowers of Evil). In fact, this collection challenges conventional thinking and writing, with its lexicon and syntax interestingly provocative—to put it mildly. Sean’s book, I strongly believe, must be carefully taken and read for what it truly is: A Beautiful Piece of Art!
