Christmas Carol in June

At this transitional moment in Anglophone literary aesthetics in Cameroon, when traditional nomenclatures have been disrupted by a radically new sense of identity, it is only fitting that Christmas Carol in June offers us refreshing perspectives into the female psyche, away from the packaged characterizations we have been used to. Ewusi's novel captures the tragedy of belonging, the resilience against complex osmotic forces, and the victory—even in death—over the clashing egos of a transnational consciousness, in a story of becoming and of a sense of self A pioneer publication, it is boldly innovative, tantalizingly realistic, and suavely colloquial: and yet, engages us with an acute sense of psychological awareness, from a new demographic that attempts to break from constructed patterns; hopefully indicative of a new watershed in our creative representations from which the feminine will no longer be the space of stereotypical revaluations.
