Fuel presents Inua Ellams’ The 14th Tale
A hilarious and poetic coming-of-age story about a natural-born trouble maker, and his relationship with his father. The story followed Inua’s real-life journey from his birthplace in Nigeria to the culture-shock of England, charting his trials, tribulations, and mischief-making along the way.
Using playful rhymes, Inua weaved vivid and endearing characters, while at the same time challenging expectations of what it is to be a young black male in the UK today.
