Bonas Diva

Louisa Lum’s creative pen moves her readers to a new world of dichotomy and experiences of an eclectic audience – paints vivid images of student life and residential area on the other side of the Mongo popularly known as ‘Bonas’; a fountain of expected ‘academic achievement’, ‘dream realization’; but a cultivation of academic doom, frustration, dream deferred, moral profligacy, falloff, and putrefaction. Lum also rings the bell of self-pity, rape and baseless sexuality….this novel conveys a totality of experience with specific interpretations of societal phenomena to unearth the filthy contradictions that characterize our university system and milieu. In this must-read novel, Lum does not relent in her diligent pursuit of her role as a writer – to teach and to change.
