Parasol Against the Axe invites readers on a kaleidoscopic weekend journey through Prague, presenting the city as a living entity intertwined with the lives of its inhabitants. The narrative explores themes of storytelling, personal transformation, and the enigmatic nature of urban existence. Reviews Publishers Weekly: "The bold, lucid, and experimental latest from Oyeyemi portrays Prague as a city of dreams and mysteries... Bizarre doublings and subplots abound as Oyeyemi delightfully channels a Borgesian literary lunacy."Irenosen Okojie: "Oyeyemi has mastered the art of bold, expansive storytelling."Ali Smith: "A writer of sentences so elegant that they gleam."
