From the supplier: The use of organic metaphors is a common practice in many postcolonial works, including the fiction of Nuruddin Farah. Examples include the eye and metaphors of ocular effraction or intrusion, the darkroom and an unfocused lens in Farah's novel 'Close Sesame' or the skin or epidermis as a metaphor for tissue as the space within the novel in 'A Naked Needle.'
