Dhulma na Abdulrazak Gurnah
Katika mitaa ya Zanzibar na Dar es Salaam, maisha ya vijana watatu–Badar, Karim, na Fauzia–yanasukwa na matukio yasiyotabirika. Badar, kijana maskini asiye na mizizi wala elimu, anajikuta katika dunia ya watu wenye mamlaka na mali. Akiwa mtumishi, bahati inampiga mawimbi anapokutana na Karim–kijana wa mama mwenye nyumba, mwenye ndoto na matarajio makubwa. Wakati huo huo, Fauzia, bado akiwa kaelemewa na changamoto za utotoni, anatafuta njia ya kujinasua.
Vijana hawa wenye njozi tofauti lakini mustakabali uliofungamana, wanapita kwenye safari ya mapenzi, kazi na uzazi, huku urafiki wao ukijaribiwa na tamaa, hofu, mabadiliko ya kiuchumi na teknolojia na hatimaye–usaliti. Je, hatima yetu huamuliwa na hadhi ya kuzaliwa kwetu, au tunaweza kuiandika upya? Hakika simulizi hii inatupeleka kwenye safari ya maisha ya wale wanaotafuta nafasi yao katika ulimwengu unaobadilika haraka, usio na huruma na wenye dhulma bila kujali walipotoka.
Hii ni Tafsiri ya Riwaya ya Kwanza ya Abdulrazak Gurnah baada ya kutunukiwa Tuzo ya Nobel ya Fasihi ya mwaka 2021.

Great Mistake by Dr. CYPRIEN SIKUBWABO
Great Mistake is an emotional story that lays bare the fragility of love, trust, and hope in the final chapters of a person’s life. It follows Mariko, a 78-year-old widower whose longing for comfort after the death of his first wife leads him into a risky remarriage with Alice, a woman far younger than himself. In seeking a companion to soften the loneliness of old age, Mariko instead finds himself trapped in a union devoid of loyalty, affection, and sincerity, one that gives him neither the wife he hoped for nor the life he imagined.
What begins as a yearning for companionship quickly unravels into betrayal and moral decay. Alice, driven by self-interest, pursues relationships with other men, exposing Mariko to a world of deception he never anticipated. As painful truths emerge, Mariko receives a devastating HIV diagnosis, which he believes to be the consequence of Alice’s reckless actions. The shock and despair that follow leave him emotionally shattered and unable to endure the weight of his circumstances. In a final act of overwhelming hopelessness, Mariko chooses to end his life through self-starvation, a tragic decision that leaves Alice facing a future marked by guilt, uncertainty, and moral reckoning.
Through Mariko’s heartbreaking journey, Great Mistake becomes a powerful cautionary reflection on extreme age-gap relationships and the perils of seeking love too late in life. It shows how, in old age, marriage can be heartbreakingly, so brief that one may lose both the wife and the life hoped for almost immediately after the union begins. What seems like a final chance at companionship can quickly dissolve into profound isolation and painful illusion.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
There’s a Monster Behind the Do...
In 1980s’ Réunion, monsters lurk beneath the surface of vibrant island life,
ready to pounce at the slightest disturbance.
‘In the heat of the Tropic of Capricorn, on the flanks of an active volcano, the sharks would tear apart your favourite magazine if only they could crawl as far as your beach towel.’
Here, the naïve Dessaintes couple make a failing bid for happiness, soon growing jaded and bitter as the orange tree in their front yard – ‘the branches laden with flowers, the juicy oranges and, eventually, the nests of insatiable weaverbirds and the stench of rotten fruit.’
Even so, sprouting defiantly through the cracks of this postcolonial legacy of violence, poverty and intergenerational trauma, the Dessaintes’ daughter shows an irrepressible zest for life. Amidst the chaos raging behind and beyond the door of her childhood home, our young narrator stubbornly resists her parents’ refrain, ‘that’s the way it is and that’s that!’
Finding refuge in reading and determined to write her own story, she falls in love with words – ‘a group of jumbled black arabesques was dancing on a little white wall ... I worshipped them as sacred beings.’
With clear-eyed, offbeat, buoyant humour, Bélem plunges us into a vivid world of extremes where, ‘quiet times and places are rare.’

How to Make a Space Masquerade by Maz...

In the Company of Men by Veronica Tadjo
Two boys venture from their village to hunt in a nearby forest, where they shoot down bats with glee, and cook their prey over an open fire. Within a month, they are dead, bodies ravaged by an insidious disease that neither the local healer’s potions nor the medical team’s treatments could cure. Compounding the family’s grief, experts warn against touching the sick. But this caution comes too late: the virus spreads rapidly, and the boys’ father is barely able to send his eldest daughter away for a chance at survival.
In a series of moving snapshots, Véronique Tadjo illustrates the terrible extent of the Ebola epidemic, through the eyes of those affected in myriad ways: the doctor who tirelessly treats patients day after day in a sweltering tent, protected from the virus only by a plastic suit; the student who volunteers to work as a gravedigger while universities are closed, helping the teams overwhelmed by the sheer number of bodies; the grandmother who agrees to take in an orphaned boy cast out of his village for fear of infection. And watching over them all is the ancient and wise Baobab tree, mourning the dire state of the earth yet providing a sense of hope for the future.
BackHomeAbroad and Other Stories by P...
In BackHomeAbroad and Other Stories, Pede Hollist presents fifteen stories of lives crossing continents, cultures, and personal histories. Hollist explores how migration reshapes narratives that confront racism, patriarchy, memory, and the unresolved weight of home.
In “Outbreak at the Renaissance”, a woman attributes her marital troubles to the physical scar she got from escaping death in Sierra Leone’s civil war. “Okonkwo’s Revenge” follows two characters from Things Fall Apart as they break free of the limits of Chinua Achebe’s book. In “Foreign Aid”, a man returns to Sierra Leone after twenty years to find that he is a stranger in his homeland. Finally, border towns fighting over a disputed piece of land are united by a hermaphrodite in “Wherever Something Stands, Something Else Must Stand Beside It”.
These compelling stories portray people between worlds, highlighting the tensions and possibilities of movement, memory, and change. Hollist’s voice is confident, incisive and quietly radical, marking this collection as an essential contribution to contemporary African literature.
