A Letter to My Dying Mother Surviving in the West an Abridged Edition

This is an immensely entertaining and enlightening book, infused with a considerable degree of humour. Addressed to his mother in her final battle with death, and sent through a fictitious courier, the author attempts, among other things , to give her, a woman who spent all her life in a typical African countryside, an idea of the things she would have seen and experienced on a visit to her son resident in the northern German city of Hannover.
