The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born

The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born by Ayi Kwei Armah is a seminal work of African literature — hailed by The New York Times as being "in the first rank of recent novels anywhere."

Part of the prestigious African Writers Series (AWS), this novel is set in post-independence Ghana and follows an unnamed railway clerk who struggles to maintain his integrity in a society rife with corruption and moral decay. Armah's vivid, unflinching prose paints a haunting portrait of disillusionment and the cost of staying honest in a corrupt world.
