In the Shadow of a Saint by Ken Wiwa
A not altogether satisfactory account of what it's like growing up as the son of a famous father. The theme is fascinating, as is the Nigerian background and the story of Ken Saro Wiwa, but he seems to find it difficult to organise the various elements into a coherent whole. Worth reading, nevertheless.
