Amos Tutuola created his own strange, timeless world, in which the myths and religious sacraments of the Dark Continent and the hi-tec of the West harmoniously coexist. The plot of “My Life” is typical both for Tutuola and for mythological tales: travel and adventure, all sorts of creatures and spirits and an inevitable happy ending. Something else is atypical - explosive irony and absurdity, which once again confirms the reputation of Amos Tutuola as an absolutely original writer, a master of combining the incompatible.
