Free Troubles: A Writer’s Eyes on the World is a collection of beautifully written essays that x-rays, critiques and parodies the ills of modern day society.

Obari Gomba employs tropes of satire and social commentary, pyrotechnics of wit, beauty of language, diversity of style, force of imagination and experimentation, and first-person point of view to give immediacy to his context and content. The essays risk everything, through a blend of aesthetics and insightfulness, to compel us to pay attention to the intractable problems of existence. It is an intense examination of our culture, a critique of our social structures, a show of irreverence towards abusive authority, and a resistance against the normalisation of evil.
