My most memorable short story in this anthology is 'Africa kills her sun'by Ken Saro-Wiwa. It constitutes a dark satire on the effects of all-encompassing corruption and pervasive graft in Nigerian society and Africa in general.

Quite a moving anthology... especially Ken Sarow-Wiwa's
it was part of my high school curriculum. Very interesting short stories from all over Africa. Got me to appreciate how people in other African countries go through.

I found myself reading the short stories over and over again, not only for my exams but also for fun. its one of those books that got me to appreciate the importance of reading books. Real book.
Amazing read.
