Description

The five reports collected together in The Tomorrow-Tamer are Maggie Laurence’s first published fiction. Set in crazy and frequently horrifying Ghana, where gleaming Jaguars and contemporary punk jostle for eminence against fetish numbers, tribal rituals, and the constant beat of jungle drums, the tales tell of people, European and African, attempting to arrived at terms with all the scary world triggered by the country’s new freedom.With exactly the same empathy and knowledge she'd carry to her later fiction set in Europe, Laurence works brilliantly in capturing the atmosphere of the region and of individual men and women battling for success underneath the effect of the wind of change.
