Abstract:

Adventurous, romantic, historical, and funny, ranging from the harrowing slum of Katakoumbay to the comforts of the developed world, this collection of stories investigates the complexities of human relationships. The language is contemporary and often unrelenting. The book is an exposé on the joys and disillusionment of post-independence Africa and the Caribbean. ... We read about the secrets of online dating; the trial of a migrant; a polygamous household; a rebel leader; an air steward; a teacher-pupil relationship; the fears of sickness; and a glimpse of the afterlife.
