' Our Wife and Other Stories' is a collection of some twenty- seven short stories by Karen king -Aribisala.In this collection she 'reacts' to African culture from within ; particularly to the place of women, indigenous and foreign in it.
With an admirable fine blend of feminism, humour, wit and sarcasm, and parody, Karen King Aribisala dissects various culture-bound conventional wisdoms and practices, showing how the trivial and the germane often encapsulate, in varying degrees, some laughter, honour, opresssion and injustice.
