In this gorgeously crafted debut, Echeruo interrogates the dynamics of power - from the intimacies of domestic life, to the machinations of national politics and the fervour of religion - seeking always an understanding of the human condition. Expert in All Styles is a thoughtful, incisive collection with memorably-drawn characters whose lives are as universal as they are particular. - Ellah P. Wakatama, Editor of Africa39 and SafeHouse

It's gregarious and dense with life. From the uncertain futures of a high-flying couple that relocates from Washington DC to Lagos, through a nurse trying to get pregnant by a husband who starts snoring while he's still in her mouth and to the title story, narrated by a barber who is surprised and heartbroken at how quickly he becomes a real expert in all styles, Echeruo's collection is a rich, affecting and grand voyage through contemporary Nigerian life in the 21st century. - Brian Chikwava, Author, Harare North

Echeruo has a good ear. His characters are sharply drawn, and his stories are filled with wit, beauty and heart - Chika Unigwe, Author, On Black Sisters Street
