Life In No Order: A compilation of short stories by Kendi Karimi
A head scratching, heart stopping collection of stories
Praise for the stories in Life In No Order
GENRE: SHORT STORY
TITLE: OUR BRIEF HEAVENLY HOUR
WRITER: KENDI KARIMI, KENYA
REVIEWER: HALIEO MOTANYANE, LESOTHO
WEBSITE: WRITER'S SPACE AFRICA
Captivity is one of the biggest achievements that a writer should rejoice in whenever their story masters it. For a story to be a masterpiece, the reader should be captivated to the point of not wanting to stop reading while wishing the story should not end.
This is what Kendi Karimi’s story has done to me. Rather than call ‘Our Brief Heavenly Hour’ a short story, it would fit perfectly as a ‘Personal Letter’.
“Kendi, you have a deep-rooted philosophical soul that is unparalleled in verse! Your poetic style is quite unique.”
-LANCE SHERIDAN
Don’t Wait In The Sun, Dance In The Rain

About the book
Stories are never just stories the same way love isn't just love or hate just hate. With love, you make the life-altering decision to live and die by your lover's side when marriage come along. With hate, you bully a child into submission, into self-loathing, into depression.
With stories, you tell about your share of pain and joy, love and hate and in doing so, you knit a lovely invisible creation that sheds light on culture and history as is in your time. You have the chance to immortalize something with a story, a chance to shine the torch on life. These stories, these histories, are poetic, vivid, full.
Life in no order is a collection of short stories that talk about life, in no order.

Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Brief Summary
Everyone knows Daisy Jones & The Six: The band's album Aurora came to define the rock 'n' roll era of the late seventies, and an entire generation of girls wanted to grow up to be Daisy. But no one knows the reason behind the group's split on the night of their final concert at Chicago Stadium on July 12, 1979 . . . until now.
Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock 'n' roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.
Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.
Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.
The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with Daisy Jones & The Six, brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.
Dawn of Fortune by Wanjiru M. Thuku
Dawn of Fortune is largely a journal in the romance niche. It journeys the reader through the life of the lead character Ami. From the onset, it highlights the impeding nature of forced marriages in most African cultures. Most of which openly undermine the girl child in terms of education and expression. Does our lead character Ami bow down to the pressure?
It also lays emphasis on the imperfections of love, what would seemingly look like a beautiful thing to experience.
We see the lead character falling in love and getting hurt by it. Ideally, this journal explores real life experiences and brings them all together explosively. What would,otherwise, leave the reader glued and in suspense to no end. The journal being thought provoking, gripping and a real page-turner beautifully captures the reader's attention and creativity makes them adopt a role.

Murdering Romance by Kendi Karimi
A Wakini Kuria Prize & African Writers Awards shortlisted author
Murdering Romance is a story about Mukami who simply wanted to experience an actual authentic moment of genuine love and call it her own. But let the title not lull you into thinking that the book is solely about romance. It is much more. The author first portrays Mukami as this lady who seems to be on a revenge mission disguised as a pursuit of love but as the plot thickens, the storyline evolves into other deeper issues. The book delves deep into several themes including domestic violence, toxic masculinity, femininity, absentee parents and abuse, among others.
Often there is a gulf of difference between fiction and non-fiction but in Murdering Romance, the dissimilarity between the two is too blurred to discern.
