Not a misery memoir. Funnier than it has any right to be, and more damning for it.

Emeka Obi wrote Night Shift, Lagos on the back of a year he could not sleep after. He now writes fiction about farming, which he says is “restful by comparison”.
He narrates his own audiobooks, mostly to stop anyone else mispronouncing Abia place names.

I laughed and then I did not. He is fair to everyone in it, including the system, which is more generous than I would have managed.
