Disruption: New Short Fiction from Africa
These stories by new and emerging writers from the continent of Africa all tackle the theme of 'Disruption' in ingenious ways and represent a range of genres, from Innocent Ilo's imaginative exploration of a post-apocalyptic African village, to Victor Forna's stylistic take on the destruction of humanity. Masiyaleti Mbewe's brutal tale of Apartheid and climate change through the eyes of a time-traveling cyborg sits alongside Genna Gardini's diverting allegory of companionship and an escaped exotic pet. The 2021 anthology features stories from across the continent, from Libya to Sierra Leone to Zambia to South Africa, and also includes a translated story, 'Armando's Virtuous Crime' by Najwa Bin Shatwan, translated from Arabic into English by Sawad Hussain.

Brutally Frank
Brutally Frank is the autobiography of an elder statesman and frontline advocate of truth, fairness, justice, and equity in Nigeria, Chief (Dr.) Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, OF, CON. Written in a simple language, the book tells the story of Edwin Clark right from his forebears till his present. But beyond being the story of just a man and his life, Edwin Clark's story intersects with those of the Ijaws, the Urhobos and the entire Niger Delta on one hand, and the Nigerian nation on the other hand. Therefore, in this book, the history of Nigeria and the vital events that contributed to its current outlook are captured and told as they are in a brutally frank manner! Furthermore, important facts and salient truths which must be stated, understood, and appreciated should Nigeria desire to move forward and reclaim its rightful place in the comity of nations are well articulated by Chief Clark in this book. This is a must read for every Nigerian.
