Vincent is a fat, lazy Nigerian residing in Berlin, Germany. He works as a photographer, freelance for the most part, and he's bereft of any professional aspirations. He's reluctant to commit to even the most simple of things. He does just enough work to get by and in his free time he relaxes with his colorful troop of friends, clubbing, drinking, and passing time. He's a sharp contrast to his elder brother Matty, a successful accountant and family man who lives in London. Vincent's relationship with his girlfriend Lucille doesn't seem to be going anywhere and they both know it. So, there Vincent is, in Berlin, living this thing called life.I found Goodbye Lucille quite interesting. Don't worry it's not all about Lucille in that blind lovey-dovey way. This tale by Segun Afolabi is not riveting or spectacular but it's pretty good. Goodbye Lucille had been stuck on my reading list for quite a while because I couldn't get through the first couple of pages without losing interest. Once I got through those pages it was much easier to stay interested in the novel's progress. Goodbye Lucille is a decent novel and I'm surprised that I really like it.
