By Tola Ositelu Boo is the poignant tale of a mentally impaired man who lives with his disgruntled but loving older brother Benny in a flat – or maisonette according to the protagonist – on a nameless estate, in a nameless city. Christened Beau by his parents, Boo’s neighbours soon brandish him with the infamous moniker due to his elusive existence and the myriad rumours surrounding him, (including the alleged knifing of his brother), reminiscent of the Boo Radley character in Harper Lee’s masterpiece To Kill a Mockingbird.
