Walking With Shadows by Jude Dibia

1.0

I first encountered Jude Dibia's writing in the One World anthology, when I was devouring the complete works of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie last year. I enjoyed his contribution to the anthology, and was intrigued by his about-the-author note, so I decided to look up his other work. I found he had two novels, but the one I wanted to read, Walking With Shadows, was not readily available through any source I could find until quite recently, when it appeared on a self-publishing site. I was perhaps overly excited due to my initial troubles finding the book...I suppose I set myself up for disappointment. Grammatical and typographical errors abound and moreover though the story is one that is very interesting to me, the characters and their thoughts, words, and actions are unsubtle and unlifelike, and everything is "told", rather than "shown".
