As he travels through the land of the dead, he encounters a host of supernatural and often terrifying beings – among them the complete gentleman who returns his body parts to their owners and the insatiable hungry-creature. Mixing Yoruba folktales with what T. S. Eliot described as a ‘creepy crawly imagination’, The Palm-Wine Drinkard is regarded as the seminal work of African literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Brief, thronged, grisly and bewitching.’ Dylan Thomas, Observer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Tutuola’s art conceals – or rather clothes – his purpose, as all good art must do.’ Chinua Achebe\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595345224027,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/8951\/5850\/files\/zabriskie_amostutuola_thepalm-winedrinkard.jpg?v=1784557601","url":"https:\/\/zabriskie.de\/products\/the-palm-wine-drinkard","provider":"Zabriskie Buchladen für Kultur und Natur","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
