Aluta Insomnia

This book of reflections is about a Ghana boy who travels within his country and around the world, sharing the anecdotes graciously. Whether it is a visit to see the US President at the White House or a trip to an Ada village called Totimehkope, each story is down a memory lane that is paved with nuggets of wisdom. The work showcases the beauty of being alive to the moral and developmental happenings around us. The author’s capacity to smell and milk story ideas from the most mundane scenario is remarkable. A neurosurgeon by profession, his words cut and heal clinically in equal measure. Page after page, he operates as in the theatre - precise, penetrating, productive. If you love the brilliance of Ernest Hemingway and Ayi Kwei Armah, you will never stop reading Teddy Totimeh.

Sometimes, you do not know what you did right to be rewarded with a priceless gem. Aluta Insomnia is one such gift!
