The Clothes Of Nakedness

Benjamin Kwakye is a Ghanaian. The Clothes of Nakedness is his first novel.

Gabriel Bukari is an out of work taxi driver living from hand to mouth in a poor suburb of Accra: honest, kind-hearted and faithful to his wife. When he meets Mystique Mysterious, the ‘big man’ who can get him a job, he is exposed to temptations he has never faced before.

In this lively portrait of relations between rich and poor in urban Ghana, Benjamin Kwakye explores the seductive power of corruption and shows how ordinary people can be manipulated to make choices which threaten their community life.
