Details

ABC Merriman-Labor is an African satirist, whose dreams of becoming the greatest writer of his generation lead him on a defiant journey to the 'horrifying heart of whiteness': Edwardian London. Here, he wrestles with romantic ruin, financial catastrophe & severe writers' block to compose the first ethnographic account of the White Man ever attempted. But when details of his intimate friendship with John Roberts spark rumours back in Freetown, he is faced with an impossible choice: exposure or oblivion. Five Years with the White Man is a tragicomic celebration of a long-forgotten figure, who defied the bigotry of empire.
