Reviews

"Timothy Ogene's beautiful novel is a new form of Bildungsroman: Sam's story is also a journey through books and memories, so much so that a life's journey is not only oriented forwards, but also backwards." — African Book Review[5]

"A refreshing increase in Nigerian literature in recent years – of which this is a welcome contribution . . .." — Hong Kong Review of Books[6]

"Timothy Ogene’s The Day Ends Like Any Day illustrates the ways in which human beings carry their pasts with them no matter where they go. It is a powerful novel that demands reconciliation, from the reader and its protagonist alike." — Foreword Reviews [7]

'Timothy Ogene’s The Day Ends Like Any Day is . . . a lyrical, vibrant, and challenging coming-of-age account of the multiple identities and multiple personalities of a young Nigerian growing up in a period when everything around him is changing but who refuses to accept that his life has been formed by the traumas and dependencies of his life and past.' — Africa Book Link[8]

'Timothy Ogene’s beautiful novel is "a new form of Bildungsroman," in which the theme of coming of age becomes a coming of language: Sam’s story is also a journey through books and memories, so much so that a life’s journey is not only oriented forwards, but also backwards.' — Daily Trust, Nigeria [9]
