ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates thematic visions and narratology in the prose narratives of Helon Habila. It adopts the comparative and analytical approaches in examining the strands that coalesce Habila's Oil on Water (2010), The Chibok Girls (2017) and Travellers (2019) in themes and style. It posits that though an immigrant writer based in the US, Habila draws his creative resources from the Nigerian social, political and historical experiences. In narratology, he superimposes the traditional African quest-motif as outer structural design which he blends with inner postmodernist search for multiple truths, fragmentation of narrative structure and multiple points of view to express themes of both Nigerian and global dimensions.
