Bøker av David Chasumba

In this collection of taut stories, David Chasumba tells it like it is, with delicate tales about foibles of modern life in the city and countryside. Anything can happen when congregants get involved in incongruous but steamy love affairs. Anything can be used as a weapon when a man does not fancy his soon to be son-in-law. Any feelings come to the fore when a black girl thinks she is too dark-skinned. Anything goes when racist traffic police meets a cheeky, wide-eyed migrant driver on the wide highways of Europe. Out of this writer's pen emerges new problems and new solutions.
