Description

These are stories of magical telling and near magical situations: Sheriff's story 'Ndemu, the Crazy wife of Kuluma', is about the use of stories to sow supernatural anxieties amongst people; Thulla's 'Falang' tells of a lover returning from the dead to torment the living; and Mansaray's 'A Pentacle For Jebbeh' is steeped in narrations about charms, witchcraft, and the fight against evil. MG Sesay's 'Amina and the Armed Robber's Search for Miss Habiba' tells of the magical reality of love; Farouk Sesay's 'Childbride' narrates the ordeal of a girl whose dreams of being a judge are threatened by ancient practices that are much alive in the land; and Koroma's 'The Golden Crown of Ordu' is an account of the magical origins of a man who would become a Paramount Chief. The stories all have a surreal feel in their telling, overflowing with themes as diverse as love, career aspirations, bravery, and prayers and actions for the end to be beautiful and much more. ...
