Blackass
In the organizer's words:
The brilliantly written satire by Nigerian author A. Igoni Barrett is based on Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis". In Barrett's novel, Furo Wariboko suddenly wakes up as a white man on the day of an important job interview. But this transformation doesn't seem so bad: As a white man in Lagos, taking a cab costs twice as much, but overall life seems easier at first. Could this have something to do with the color of his skin? It doesn't stop there. The juggling of identities, transformations, attributions and the search for the self is also reflected in the narrative form of this extraordinary novel.
"Don't let yourself be made a fool of." This is written on a statue at the entrance to the metropolis of Lagos. Barrett has used this credo as a motto for his book - only to artfully undermine it in his narrative.
