It’s 1995, and Masali—a tiny, tropical West African nation—is hanging by a thread, propped up by foreign aid, juju magic, and rampant corruption. Development banks are pinning their hopes on PGA, a frozen fish start-up meant to feed the nation.

Reminiscent of boarding school days, our first lockdown means Guy is back to writing letters to his mum, Peggy. Fifty years on writing comes easier, and he certainly has tales to tell and stories to share. He follows the national timeline of events during this turbulent period with wit and hilarity.
