Synopsis

Mind-blowing, thought-provoking and ingeniously audacious… MY COUNTRY TOOK A WRONG TURN is intrepid satire of the lifestyle we have endorsed from the independence of Cameroon to the present and its evil effects on the world around us. The poet writes about what he knows best - the corruption, despair and disillusionment of the populace who have forgotten their heroes and leadership that has lost the power of Vision. Politics is a farce and neo-colonialism has reared its ugly head…. Oscar C. Labang’s muse is multifaceted; he has the ability to infuse emotion as the theme requires… sarcasm and tenderness seem to drip seamlessly from his polygonal pen. Labang’s style is uniquely avant-garde for though there are echoes of masters in his work, he totally makes his verse to stand-out. Louisa Lum University of Yaounde 1
