For The Plot x The Fishermen By Chigozie Obioma

​For the Plot Session THREE is our last session of the year so we’re going to be wrapping it up with a BANG.

​The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma is a beautiful tale and weo looking forward to discussing it.

​Told by nine-year-old Benjamin, the youngest of four brothers, The Fishermen is the Cain and Abel-esque story of a childhood in Nigeria, in the small town of Akure. When their father has to travel to a distant city for work, the brothers take advantage of his absence to skip school and go fishing. At the forbidden nearby river, they meet a madman who persuades the oldest of the boys that he is destined to be killed by one of his siblings. What happens next is an almost mythic event whose impact-both tragic and redemptive-will transcend the lives and imaginations of the book’s characters and readers.
