Biyi Bandele is moved by Segun Afolabi's compassionate in his latest novel, Goodbye Lucille. In "Moses", a beautifully crafted short story in Segun Afolabi's debut collection, A Life Elsewhere, the nameless protagonist is "from a part of the world where you might be fed if you knocked on a stranger's door, but it was not unknown to witness a corpse by the side of the road or a child begging for its blind father".

An amazing, gentle, well-written, wrong-footing book that deals with exile and loss through the eyes of a young black Nigerian living in 1980's Berlin. Initially he is as concerned with getting drunk and laid as he is with healing family rifts. The supporting cast - think 'Cabaret meets 'Tales of the City' - are only too keen to make sure Vincent finds any number of girls but in the end, and very satisfyingly, true love does find him.
