| The Wrestling Match The boys born during the Nigerian Civil War have grown up to form a troublesome group with a grudge against the society whose violent struggles they witnessed when young. This generation of children refuses to take up work on family farms, or obey the advice and commands of their elders. And so their elders decide to teach them a lesson. Soon the boys find themselves locked in conflict with one another, rather than with older generations. Their struggle will culminate in a great wrestling match—a war in which nobody wins. Buchi Emecheta is one of Nigeria's leading novelists. Her writing has been praised by The New York Times for its "subtlety, power, and abundant compassion."
