Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol [EPUB ebook] 

Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol are among the most successful African literary works. Song of Lawino is an African woman�s lamentation over the cultural death of her western educated husband – Ocol. In Song of Ocel the husband tries to justify his cultural apostasy. These songs were translated from Acholi by the author. They evince a fascinating flavour of the African rhythmical idiom.
