Twitter Street Obiageli A Iloakasia

Twitter Street carries us on a long journey of never-ending stories filled with laughter, shade, pain, loss, confusion, betrayal and the likes. The story starts with a new resident telling stories of the different happenings in and outside the street. As the book unfolds, the narrator makes it clear to readers that life is not a bed of roses after all. Amidst the tension in some chapters, hilarity takes an edge over grief.

In seven chapters, the narrator in this expository comic tell stories, story after story of the trending and laughable events on TwitterNg. While it appears to be 'just for the laughs', the narrator also exposes readers to deep memories of grief and loss experienced in the street.

With no resolution to have a happy ending due to life's uncertainties, Twitter Street maintains a sense of 'wonder' on how people unite, divide and still get locked up in a cage where trends and hashtags seem to be the only hope for true recognition/connection.
