- My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, erschienen 1954, war die zweite Romanveröffentlichung des nigerianischen Autors Amos Tutuola. Der in einer eigenen, an das Pidgin English erinnernden Version des Englischen verfasste Text wird als früher Vertreter des afrikanischen magischen Realismus angesehen. Dabei wird oft die Beziehung zwischen Geisterwelt und realer Welt besprochen. Der Text erinnert im Ton stark an Tutuolas Erstlingswerk, The Palm-Wine Drinkard, und wurde 1991 in deutscher Übersetzung unter dem Titel Mein Leben im Busch der Geister veröffentlicht. Zudem war er titelgebend für ein 1981 veröffentlichtes Album von David Byrne und Brian Eno. (de)
- My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is a novel by Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola, published in 1954. It is presented as a collection of related – but not always sequential – narratives. The stories recount the fate of a small West African boy. After he and his elder brother are abandoned by his family, they flee as armed slave traders approach their village. On becoming separated from his brother, who has likely been captured by the slave traders, he unwittingly enters the bush, or wilderness. He is too young and inexperienced to know, as every hunter and traveler does, that ghosts or spirits live there, and mortals risk great peril by entering the area. The book is written in English from the viewpoint of the main character, the young boy, and describes his surreal experiences with strange beings in a strange place. Tutuola's command of the language enabled him to modify his writing style to describe the external world and events in an authentic voice of youth and naivety. The story is not one unbroken narrative, as other stories also appear out of sequence. Many of the stories have the qualities of children's tales but with nightmarish or gruesome elements, similar to Grimms' Fairy Tales. My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, like Tutuola's earlier The Palm-Wine Drinkard (1952), is heavily metaphorical and autobiographical. (en)
- Mitt liv i spökenas bush (engelska: My Life in the Bush of Ghosts) är en roman av den nigerianska författaren Amos Tutuola. Romanen gavs ut 1954, två år efter hans genombrottsroman, Palmvindrinkaren, om vilken den starkt påminner. Liksom Palmvindrinkaren hämtar den mycket av sitt stoff från yorubafolkets muntliga tradition, och är skriven på en oortodox afro-engelska. Romanen översattes till svenska först 2011, och gavs ut på det lilla förlaget Sphinx bokförlag. Den svenska utgåvan illustrerades av John Andersson. David Byrne och Brian Eno gav 1981 ut albumet My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, som lånat sin titel av boken. (sv)
