Il Bevitore Di Vino Di Palma by Amos Tutuola
A down-on-his-luck man sets out to recover his beloved palm-wine tapster after the tapster dies and vanishes into the land of the dead; his quest becomes a surreal, episodic odyssey through strange landscapes where talking trees, monsters, tricksters and ghosts test his wit and endurance, blending folktale motifs, dark humor and dreamlike fever as he negotiates impossible trials, bargains with spirits and struggles to return to ordinary life.
