Chin Ce's third work of fiction and full length novel, The Visitor, is a work that combines rare spiritual and science fiction techniques to express a wholly refreshing paradigm of consciousness, memory and existence in African literary philosophy. It seems the author’s idea that the individual in a failed nation must find or reinterpret meaning beyond the decadence and violence that drive and batter his self. Thus after looking through the general social malaise and psychic disorders of Koloko and Gamji nations, Ce engages with the quest for wholeness signified in Erie’s lost memory. This quest will span three dimensions of existence: past, present, and future. Techniques of flashback and jumpstarts abound to create a complex network of events. The rendering is cinematographic and coincides with the unknown movie which the hero Deego is seen to have been watching at the end of the narrative or beginning of the story.
