A Ghanaian author and a lecturer at the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB), Nana Acheampong, has launched three new books in Accra on Monday.
The books, ‘The Mystery of the Treasure Keeper’, ‘A Taste of the Serpent’s Kiss,’ and ‘One Stone, One Bride, and a Zombie.’
‘The Mystery of the Treasure Keeper’ examines the life of an African immigrant in the United States, delving into the cultural shifts and personal struggles that come with relocation.
‘A Taste of the Serpent’s Kiss’ offers a critical reflection on Ghanaian governance, making a bold case for political revolution and structural reform while ‘One Stone, One Bride, and a Zombie’ presents a more philosophical narrative, centred on the idea that the events in our lives are not always the result of our actions but may be consequences of the actions of others.
Reviewing the book, the Co-founder of Writers’ Project of Ghana, Dr Martin Egblewogbe, described ‘One Stone, One Bride, and a Zombie’ as ‘bold telling’ of a Ghanaian story.
He said the structure of the story is complicated and needs time to understand what the writer was talking about but beyond that “I feel that there is a bold strategy that he used. The storytelling is unusual and layered.”
He mentioned that the story explores the middle class in society and tries to probe into what they are and the kind of life they live outside the public eye.
According to Dr Egblewobe, the book was set on the period after the 1981 coup d’état and said there were a lot of political upheavals within that time. He further described the narrative as very rich.
Nana Acheampong said the books were part of a tranche of his upcoming book series, adding that copies would be launched every three months.
He mentioned that the books launched were a reflection of the society and called on Ghanaians to purchase them.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has clarified that former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta remains the subject of criminal proceedings in Ghana and is still wanted under a valid arrest warrant issued by the High Court in Accra.
In a public notice, the OSP said it had taken note of a transcript of a hearing from a United States immigration court that has been circulated by some media organisations.
According to the office, the document has been interpreted by some to suggest that Mr. Ofori-Atta has not been credibly charged or linked to any wrongdoing in Ghana.
The OSP rejected that interpretation, explaining that it is not involved in Mr. Ofori-Atta’s immigration proceedings in the United States.
It said its involvement relates only to extradition proceedings, which are being handled through Ghana’s Attorney-General as the country’s central authority.
According to the OSP, the extradition documents are not before the US immigration court and the court has no authority to determine whether the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta are credible.
“The credibility or otherwise of the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta is a matter for determination by the courts in Ghana,” the OSP stated.
The office explained that there are three separate legal proceedings involving the former minister.
These include the immigration proceedings in the United States concerning his immigration status, extradition proceedings to determine whether he should be returned to Ghana, and the criminal case before the High Court in Accra involving corruption and corruption-related offences.
The OSP reiterated that Mr. Ofori-Atta remains before the High Court in Accra as an accused person and that a valid warrant has been issued for his arrest.
It maintained that he remains a fugitive from justice in Ghana and is required to appear before the High Court to answer the charges against him.
The Special Prosecutor also stressed that the criminal proceedings in Ghana would continue in accordance with the law and the directives of the High Court, whether or not Mr. Ofori-Atta is physically present in the country.
