Tales from Different Tails

'Tales from different tales' by Nana Awere Damoah is now an endorsed 'must read' recommendation by myself. The book is a collection of 8 short stories set in different parts of Ghana. He covers stories starting with life on a University campus to students parting ways, a national service chapter, Kojo seeking greener pastures in the city and a hilarious public transport journey amongst others. The order of the stories is almost replicable of a typical students journey after university. For someone who never experienced life beyond secondary school in Ghana, the book certainly got me wishing I could experience that environment. The stories are memorable, humorous and thought provoking with lessons to be learnt. Nana Damoah’s descriptive choice of words and creation of vivid scenery takes you into the lives of the characters making it even more captivating. The book overall is an easy read and will certainly lighten up your day from start to finish. Check out Nana's blog here http://nanaaweredamoah.wordpress.com

I Speak of Ghana

This book is a must read to all Ghanaians. There's trouble in Sikaman (referring to Ghana). Through citing real life experiences both past and present Nana Damoah addresses the current state of affairs in the nation, saying it as it is - lots of talk with minimal action! He tasks all Ghanaian at home and in the diaspora to contribute to building the better Ghana. Packed with rich quotes and amusing humor, you will want to flip the pages. He concludes beautifully with a taste of Ghana's beautiful tourist sites in the Volta region and yet sadly how the industry seems neglected. I Speak of Ghana is the book all Ghanaians should be "speaking" about.
