An irreverent and critically acclaimed account of a journey around Nigeria, a country which 'gets fewer voluntary visitors than the moon', by the daughter of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Noo Saro-Wiwa was brought up in England, but every summer she was dragged back to Nigeria -a country she viewed as an annoying parallel universe where she had to relinquish all her creature comforts. Then her father, activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, was murdered there, and she didn't return for 10 years. Recently, she decided to come to terms with the country her father loved. She travelled from the exuberant chaos of Lagos to the calm beauty of the eastern mountains; from the eccentricity of a Nigerian dog show to the empty Transwonderland Amusement Park. Looking for Transwonderland is an engaging portrait of a country whose beauty and variety few of us will experience, depicted with wit and insight by a refreshing new voice in contemporary travel writing.
