LOOKING FOR BONO
by ABIDEMI SANUSI
Baba, a Nigerian man, decides that Bono the musician is the only person in the world who can convince the Nigerian president to provide water in his slum.
Looking for Bono is funny. It’s a bit of a wild ride. It’s also chaotic, and intentionally so. If you’re looking for a good read today, hit the link, get the book and settle down for some laughs. And when you’re done, let me know what you think.
A sparkling satire on international aid and celebrity, Looking for Bono charts one man’s accidental quest to bring water to his community in Nigeria.
PS: If you meet Bono, do let him know that Baba is looking for him #lookingforBono
PPS: Er, best read by readers aged 18+
Looking for Bono may seem like a novel full of hijinks: there's a scene involving a domestic helper which is straight out of a carry on film... However it goes much deeper. Other than the theme of media manipulation, the book also focuses on abuse, corruption and social class.
