Sin Is a Puppy That Follows You Home - Paperback
Description
by Balaraba Ramat Yakubu (Translator), Aliyu Kamal (Author)
Beginning in the late 1980s, northern Nigeria saw a boom in popular fiction written in the Hausa language. Known as littattafan soyayya ("love literature"), the books are often inspired by Hindi films-which have been hugely popular among Hausa speakers for decades-and are primarily written by women. They have sparked a craze among young adult readers as well as a backlash from government censors and book-burning conservatives.
Sin Is a Puppy That Follows You Home is an Islamic soap opera complete with polygamous households, virtuous women, scheming harlots, and black magic. It's the first full-length novel ever translated from Hausa to English. And it's quite unlike anything you've ever read before.Care
