Synopsis

This is a study of the unofficial side of African fiction.

Stephanie Newell's book reveals the undocumented writing, publishing and reading of pamphlets and paperbacks which exist outside of mainstream mass-production in Ghana. Gender relations are a dominant theme in the stories which explore and symbolically resolve commonly held pre-occupations about marriage, money and manhood.
