Winner of the 1991 Commonwealth Writers' Prize (Africa Region). Syl Cheney-Coker's acclaimed debut novel, The Last Harmattan of Alusine Dunbar traces the history of a nation's rise and fall, as prophesied by an ancient sorcerer. A military general sits in one of Malagueta's prison cells, awaiting his execution. He has just failed in overthrowing the government.

In the same land, over two centuries ago, the wife of a formerly enslaved man takes her first steps towards freedom. From the creation of Malagueta to its devastating fall Alusine Dunbar, the wizened old diviner, has prophesied it all. And what he sees, he calls a tragedy.

One of Sierra Leone s most renowned novelists and poets, Sly Cheney-Coker creates a world teeming with magical realism as he draws the journey from precolonial Africa to its shaky independence.
