The Extinction of Menai: A Novel (Modern African Writing Series) by Chuma Nwokolo

Anthology Of Short Stories
KShs2,000.00 KShs1,600.00
In the early 1980s, a pharmaceutical company administers an unethical drug trial to residents of the Niger Delta village of Kreektown. When children die as a result of the trial, the dominoes of language extinction and cultural collapse begin to topple. Decades later the end looms for the Menai people. Continents-apart twin brothers separated at birth, an excommunicated daughter living an urbane life with her doctor husband, and an infamous vigilante are among the indelible characters whose lives are shaped by this collective tragedy. Not least of these is the spiritual leader Mata Nimito, who retraces his people’s ancient migration on his quest to preserve the soul of the Menai and resolve the consequences of a centuries-old betrayal. In The Extinction of Menai, Chuma Nwokolo moves across time and continents to deliver a story that speaks to urgent contemporary concerns. He confronts power relations between large corporations and small communities, corporate lobbies and governments, and big pharma and consumers, all expressed through the competing narratives that record the life and death of a civilization.In a novel of stunning scope, Chuma Nwokolo moves across time and place to deliver a story that speaks to urgent contemporary concerns. His characters’ indelible voices offer perspectives that are simultaneously global, political, and intimately human.

How to Spell Naija Vol. 2

How to Spell Naija in 100 Short Stories, Volume 2 by Chuma Nwokolo

Fiction and Non Fiction
KShs2,000.00 KShs1,600.00
A midnight call by an assassin to his prospective victim quickly becomes a game of wits in a telephone thriller impossible to second-guess [We Have Been Paid to Kill You]. On his deathbed, the Founding Overseer confesses to his wife that his visions were false and their ministry a 30-year hoax. She’s devastated – but fate isn’t halfway through with her [Re:Vision] This second volume of How to Spell Naija in 100 Short Stories contains the final 50 stories and raises the high bar set by the first. These tales boldly range over Nigeriana, with kidnappers, houseboys, bishops and suicide bombers wreaking domestic and hilarious havoc in the lush terrain of Nwokolo’s imagination. The tales are set in the future and in the present, in the Diaspora, in urban and small-town Nigeria, and in the author’s fictional Waterside. Once again, Nwokolo’s sure-handed humour and earthy style brings an amazing and unforgettable cast of characters to life. “To say that Chuma Nwokolo is a great writer is an understatement. He is an author whose works have souls. They speak to the reader. They are both ‘novel’ and familiar. In a sense, he presents everyday issues with a different insight; one that illuminates the reader’s mind and brings to him that wonderful epiphanic aha! moment. He is able to turn everyday events into stories worth the read.” Fredua Agyeman, reviewing Vol.1

Unfit for Society by Munira Hussein

Anthology Of Short Stories
KShs1,500.00 KShs1,000.00
From the problems of the girls and women grappling with the challenges of living in a patriarchal culture to the allure of terrorist groups, Munira Hussein writing in the voice of what one of her characters describes as the children of the north brings a unique perspective from a region of Kenya which, despite its rich cultural traditions, is mostly associated in the popular imagination, with all the wrong things; violence, insecurity and underdevelopment. This compelling collection of stories from a young and upcoming writer shows there is more. Written in the exuberant flair of a poet, it celebrates the resilience of a people striving to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment, the soaring aspirations of the younger generation for a better life and stands as a challenge to society to re-examine its ethos; some of which have clearly been overtaken by time. Recently shortlisted for the African Writers Award for the short story Powder in the Wind, Ms. Hussein has the grit to curve herself a niche in the literary sphere and Unfit for Society is only but the first word in what promises to be a fruitful writing career.

Of Deadbeats, Bastard Children and Pagan Wives

Anthology Of Short Stories

Of Deadbeats, Bastard Children and Pagan Wives is a bold anthology that gathers voices from across the continent to tell the stories that linger in silence—stories of shame, survival, rebellion, and reckoning. Here, forgotten children speak, abandoned women rise, and the ghosts of family and faith return with questions no one wants to answer. This collection peels back the layers of respectability to reveal what lies beneath: the chaos of love, the ache of rejection, the rage of the misunderstood, and the unexpected beauty in being seen. Each story crackles with emotional honesty, giving life to characters we know but rarely acknowledge. These are the truths whispered behind closed doors. These are the stories we dare not tell, but must.

Mamaland and Other Stories by Nyabora Jared

Anthology Of Short Stories
KShs1,200.00 KShs1,000.00
"We all have the same rights to be here." But how about when the place you call home no longer needs you? In Mamaland, a train ride transforms into a reflection of modern-day Africa where strangers become neighbours, neighbours become foes, and all are seeking a place that they can call their own. With old wounds being opened and new divisions being created, there is one question that remains: What does it really take to call a land a motherland? In these pages, the final gesture of love from a daughter will be the final goodbye from a father. Ambition and betrayal combine in closed rooms where the exchange of power takes place. Families are challenged by sorrow, strangers battle prejudice, and normal people show extraordinary bravery when life requires more of them than they thought they can give.
