Master of Ceremonies is an absolutely unique story. I have never heard of a microphone passed down through generations that acquires magic powers, so kudos for that. The metaphors are way out toward the strange and nearly nonsensical. Yet they clearly show the Nigerian cultural influence, so it was actually pretty cool to read. I do not know if I could say I liked it, but I'm glad I read it.
