'''''The Palm-Wine Drinkard and His Dead Palm-Wine Tapster in the Deads' Town''''' is a work written by the Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola and is based on his homeland's folktales. The novel depicts the adventures of the Palm-Wine Drinkard who sets out on a long and dangerous journey to the spirit-occupied [[Spirit World|
The novel is an interesting blend of mythic stories and [[Magic Realism]] mixed with creeping modernism, and it deliberately uses Pidgin English to create a simulation of oral storytelling. Many of the spirits which the Drinkard encounters have become accustomed to western consumerism and embrace various commercial products, and yet their rules and customs defy western logic at the same time.
