Brain Surgery on the Highway and other Manic Expressions Rotimi Ogunjobi

Brain Surgery on the Highway & Other Manic Expressions is a collection of eleven stories holding a satirical mirror to contemporary Nigerian and British life. In Lagos, an itinerant medicine seller tries to separate passengers in a bus from their money, while a manic millionaire and a schizophrenic advertisement executive attempt to explain life away with mathematical theories. In London, a psychopathic writer living in Barking, is creating a deadly reality show which is not meant for television; while in the wilderness of Brixton an unemployed man contemplating a job opportunity abroad is drawn into a grim glimpse into the pitiful life of immigrants.
