You might find "A Cannibal in Manhattan" to be a wildly entertaining satire that cleverly flips the script on what we consider "civilized" versus "primitive". Through Mgungu's eye-opening experiences in New York, the book pokes fun at both the simplicity of island life and the absurd complexities of urban high society. If you enjoy a narrative that marvels and mocks at the same time, this novel's sharp wit and social commentary will not disappoint.
