While this book has some merits involving showing us a contemporary Cameroon setting and sharing regional texts and cultural media that has gone without much regard in Western commentary, it suffers from the having a point of view character whose misogyny and internalized homophobia leads to awful treatment of a trans character and most women throughout the story. Because these harmful thoughts and behaviors go unchecked, the reader cannot tell if this is supposed to be commentary that the author hopes their audience will interrogate or a reflection of his own perspective.
