'3 TALES ABOUT TRUTH' is a collection of three short novels: 'A Girl's Mind', 'What the Nanny Goat Told Her Kids' and 'The Many Faces of Truth'. 'A Girl's Mind' is a tale which centres around two college students, Eddy (a budding writer) and Etido, who use their relationship to explore the theme of love and lust; 'What the Nanny Goat Told Her Kids' is a strange mixture of human and animal stories: Grace, the nanny goat, feels slighted by Mrs Ransom's remark and so urges her two kids to get ready for a revolution. When the uprising fails, Grace tells her kids to not only learn to bark but bite like Muscle and Bone, the Ransom's dogs, which recently stop some bandits from robbing the Ransom's home. Meanwhile, Mr Ransom and a host of villagers who start sleeping like millionaires because of the promised goodies from 'Western countries' discover late the 'concerned fellows' who bring the good news, making them drink bitter concoctions to enable them stay in good health to grab their wealth, are a smart clique of con artists. Lastly, 'The Many Faces of Truth' is a tale of a family reunion and there is an argument over the truth of less food, less love; the protagonist is peeved with scenes on television where youths in his nation earnestly ask a military dictator to transform and become their executive president and so he wonders out loud if they do not know the 'truth'. But the response from his uncle shows that every assumed 'truth' has many faces attached to it.
