Gamji College comes second in the Chin Ce fictional trilogy …
Gamji College second of the trilogy of fiction
Gamji College begins on a staccato rhythm. From the rustic setting of Children of Koloko, the author’s gaze comes to rest on the chaos and drift that permeate the life of young college undergraduates. Their exploits appear in three chronicles, ‘The Cross,’ ‘The Bottle’ and ‘The Gun.’ All three parts reek with religious fanatics, alcoholic addicts and political gun runners who fill the stage of modern African nationhood.
Important in this work is Ce’s admirable craft of dialogue. ‘The Bottle,’ with the range of stories, is written in racy interchange of banters. In this collection, Dialogue is the soul of the dramatic. As in the Koloko tales, there are flashback and dramatic performance scenes; there is attention to detailed narrated experience making for a truly unique and intellectually stimulating reading experience.
