The Palm-Wine Drinkard and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
When Amos Tutuola's first novel, The Palm-Wine Drinkard, appeared in 1952, it aroused exceptional worldwide interest. Drawing on the West African Yoruba oral folktale tradition, Tutuola described the odyssey of a devoted palm-wine drinker through a nightmare of fantastic adventure.

The Little Man of Disneyland, a leprechaun named Patrick Begorra, wakes up one morning to find Big People in his orange grove. He confronts Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse wanting to know what they want in his orange grove. Mickey Mouse tells him that they are going to start building in the grove soon, and start moving trees, which upsets Patrick Begorra very much.
In this gritty noir novel, John Rector weaves an intensely sinister tale. Dexter McCray is a farmer with a dark past that continues to haunt him. As a man struggling with alcoholism, he’s used to being looked at with pity and suspicion in his community. So, after waking from a blackout to discover the body of a teenage girl in the nearby cottonwood grove, he can't be entirely sure he's innocent. With no memory of the previous night, he sees no choice but to investigate the crime himself. Fortunately he’s not alone. He has some help…in the shape of the dead girl herself. In The Grove, readers are treated to more than a warped and imaginative mystery.
