**Our May Pick is [Chronicles From the Land of the Happiest People on Earth by Wole Soyinka](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/675746/chronicles-from-the-land-of-the-happiest-people-on-earth-by-wole-soyinka/9780593314470)** **About the book:** *In an imaginary Nigeria, a cunning entrepreneur is selling body parts stolen from Dr. Menka's hospital for use in ritualistic practices. Dr. Menka shares the grisly news with his oldest college friend, bon viveur, star engineer, and Yoruba royal, Duyole Pitan-Payne. The life of every party, Duyole is about to assume a prestigious post at the United Nations in New York, but it now seems that someone is determined that he not make it there. And neither Dr. Menka nor Duyole knows why, or how close the enemy is, or how powerful.* *Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth is at once a literary hoot, a crafty whodunit, and a scathing indictment of political and social corruption. It is a stirring call to arms against the abuse of power from one of our fiercest political activists, who also happens to be a global literary giant.* **Meet Up Details:** We'll meet at Angelika Bar (State Cinema, North Hobart) at 4pm for a casual book discussion. * 4pm: Meet and greet * 4.15pm: Book discussion * 5pm: Share next month's book details * 5.10pm: Finish up - those who want to stay and chat are welcome to do so. Food and drinks are available at the venue at your own cost. **The RSVP is capped at 10, but we can probably fit a few more people in - just send me a message is the RSVP is full and you want to join.** **If you're unable to attend for any reason, please update your RSVP ASAP so others can take your spot. Thanks!**
