The Bundle of Joy and Other Stories from Africa, edited by Daniel Musiitwa, contains over 50 stories that run that breadth of the African continent in terms of the themes and countries they cover.
Reflecting on a continent on the move – one that is bustling with life, creativity, love, laughter, opportunity, hope, and promise – the stories featured in this anthology offer a perspective completely different to the usual one on our precious continent.
Stories were collected by the Africa Book Club from the popular Africa Book Club Short Reads monthly writing competition. Contributors include James Whyle, Mark Mngomezulu, Michael Adejonwo, Winfred Karungi, David Chasumba, Gwendolene Mugodi, Nicola Coady, Lynda Adhiambo Kasina, Constant van Graan, Mercy Dhliwayo and Refiloe Mabejane.
For this week’s edition of Fiction Friday, read Coady’s story, entitled “Obio”, which deals with a man who leaves his village for the first time to find out if he really has been cured, as his mother wants him to believe:
