Produktbeschreibung
Facing Mt. Elgon and other short stories is a vibrant and poignant anthology that captures the spirit of contemporary Kenya through a chorus of compelling new voices. Using the majestic and enduring Mount Elgon as a central metaphor, this collection explores the profound tensions between cherished cultural traditions and the relentless pull of modernity.

Within these pages, characters grapple with the mountains in their own lives. A young woman defies an ancient circumcision rite, an embittered spirit demands vengeance from beyond the grave, a husband makes a shocking ultimatum for happiness, and a secretary carries a devastating secret to her grave. From the complexities of love and betrayal in "Grief of Happiness" to the raw portrayal of depression and resilience in "The White Angel," these stories journey through the intricate landscape of the human condition.

Compiled by Brian Dredan Simiyu and featuring the work of a talented group of authors, this anthology is more than just a book; it's a mirror reflecting universal struggles and a beacon celebrating the resilient, often defiant, hope that defines us. It is a vital and unforgettable exploration of what it means to face your own mountain and, in doing so, discover your own strength
