Nana Awere Damoah launches new book, Nsempiisms

Award-winning author and engineer, Nana Awere Damoah adds yet another exciting volume to his impressive list of books, the book, colloquially entitled ‘Nsempiisms’, will be launched on February 25, 2017 at Jamrock Restaurant in Accra.

‘Nsempiisms,’which is his sixth book, is made up of a rich mix of social satire on the Ghanaian situation and value-laden anecdotes that inspire the human spirit, a press release copied to ghanabusinessnews.com has said.

The title is an Akan term which loosely means ‘matters of public concern’.

‘Nsempiisms’ is already available as an e-book and in hardcopy on Amazon, iBooks, Azaliabooks and other online platforms. The event is expected to draw audience from the literary circles as well as influential members of Ghanaian society, it noted

Damoah is listed as one of the top ten exceptional non-fiction writers from Ghana by Gird Center.

“I envy the mind of Nana Awere Damoah. Nsempiisms is deep, insightful and piercing, yet Damoah’s writing flows with breezy simplicity,” Ghanaian TV show host, Kwaku Sintim-Misa was cited as saying in the release.

Since he came out with his first book in 2008, Damoah has consistently engaged his audience both in Ghana and abroad on the questions of self-improvement and patriotism, it adds.

In partnership with his compatriot Kofi Akpabli, he has also pursued a national reading campaign dubbed DAkpabli Readathon which features entertaining public book readings.

In this new book, Damoah brings to his readers another thought provoking collection.
