Igereka and Other African Narratives

One day the king's men are out hunting and find Igreka starving and neglected to such a degree that they are unsure whether he is human or animal. Igeraka soon falls in love with the king's daughter Nyangunga who according to some marries a beast. The author's concern is how to present the story telling it from three different perspectives. First Nyangunga's father the king gives an account; the middle part of the story is told by Bubi a second daughter who lets events speak for themselves concealing herself her age and gender as narrator. Finally Nyangunga's mother describes her daughter's fate from a less compromising feminist perspective.
