The Beautyful Ones are Not Yet Born is a novel set during the last days of the Nkrumah government in Ghana. The novel tells the story of a railway traffic control clerk in Ghana, who is disenchanted with life and the course of events in his country. It’s about a man resisting corruption, quixotically in the view of most of those around him. A satire very intense and intensely written.
