Clinically Dead

About the Book

Having survived a massive heart attack from which the overwhelming number of victims never recover, the author engages himself in a conversation on “Why him?” It is a conversation that recalls, with humor and candidness, other times in his life that he had escaped close shaves with death. It ends with an emphatic admission rooted in faith that a third factor—God, an unseen hand, a guardian angel, an ancestral spirit, etc.—most certainly has always interceded on his behalf to upturn logically fatal outcomes. This is also as much an essay on Akan cultural practices as it is a commentary on Ghanaian political history.
