Overview

Set in Kenya, this novel is a hilarious, yet subtly disturbing, portrayal of post-colonial decadence. Newly wealthy black landowner, Baba Pesa, constantly boasts he is "the Father of Money." He is brutish and ruthless. He clashes with his family, friends and neighbors as he craves financial dominance in the region.
