Nearly All the Men in Lagos are Mad

Damilare Kuku

Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad is a collection of twelve short stories featuring characters with unique voices and stories that represent the diverse class, gender and ethnic melting pot that is Lagos.

There’s a story of a young lady who tries to find her oyibo soulmate on the streets of Lagos; another of a pastor’s wife who defends her husband from an allegation of adultery; a wife takes a knife to her husband’s penis; and a night of lust between a rising musician and his Instagram baddie takes an unexpected turn.

Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad underscores with wit, humour, wisdom and sensitivity, the perils of trying to find lasting love and companionship in Africa’s most notorious city.

‘With 12 daring short stories inspired by real women in the author’s life, Nearly All the Men in Lagos are Mad explores love, lust, trauma and friendship through witty twists and turns’ - Tatler ‘Kuku’s provocative debut is a brilliant, witty, punchy account of the messiness of relationships.’ - Refinery29
