The cover of The Memory of the Ogisi by Moses Ose Utomi. The image shows a brown building with large green hands hovering over it at the top. At the bottom of the image, a shadowed figure walks through a desert with some trees. This bottom portion of the image is upside down. The tile of the book overlaps the image in green block letters.
