Book excerpt: PRAISE FOR THE NIGHT HIDES WITH A KNIFE * * * * * * * * * * * "A respectable collection of short stories written in elegant and piquant style and demonstrates profound insight into human psychology." - Jury, ANA/Spectrum Prize "With this first collection of short stories, Nduka Otiono takes us on an impressive, multi-textual journey of resourcefulness and creativity that combines the best of the oral and scribal in Nigeria literary culture: traditional storytelling strategies and conventional narrative forms are overlaced with a fragmentary, postmodern reflexivity; the voice propels the pen, only to get trapped in the tape recorder." - Harry Garuba, poet and Professor, University of Cape Town, South Africa "...a synthesis of the archetypal forms of the oral tradition with modern urban realism." - D.S. Izevbaye, Emeritus Professor of English and Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Letters "The issue in Nigerian fiction is no longer that of good and evil. Our experience in the postmodern and postcolonial times has driven us to beyond those fringes. As The Night Hides with a Knife has clearly symbolized, the issue is that of the beautiful and the ugly, the dark and the light, a distinction which must remain foregrounded in the consciousness of every Nigerian in order to remind us of our vanishing beauty and dream as a people." - Frank Uche Mowah, writer and former Head of Department of English, Ambrose Alli University, Nigeria "...challenges the stereotype notion that modern African prose lacks experimental forms. The...collection defies, and indeed straddles genre classification." - Monitor Review "Several years of craftsmanship have transformed the ten short stories in this collection into gems of chiseled prose...In these stories, we see the dreams of an entire generation reaching up for the lights or sinking into the fetid swamp of the nation's grave." - The Guardian "There is...a deeply autobiographical tenor in the short stories, for they tend to proclaim the geography of Otiono's times... The greatest achievement...is his deep and significant power of observation, in the surprising detail of his narrative." - Vanguard "The Night Hides with a Knife is a collection of familiar and somewhat absurd experiences...Nduka Otiono is unique because his exploration of experiences is stylized. In essence, he is a stylist at heart: manner matters a lot to him." - TheNews Magazine "Otiono's painstaking assemblage of the loom of existence with its strands drawn from the nation's socio-political realities is the staple of everyday life... By giving free reign to his imagination and inventiveness and by drawing on the rich and time-tested resources of the oral tradition and heritage of African literature, Otiono makes The Night Hides with a Knife an irresistible work in the narrative genre." - Weekend Times "Otiono's ability to capture true life experiences manifests in stories like 'A Will to Survive', 'Wings of Rebellion'..." - Sunday Times "These stories are experimental, displaying an awareness of modern currents and a delicate narrative sensitivity to autochthonous structures... Part of the assets [the author] displays are his sharp, smooth-flowing prose and his sense of adventure and experimentation...He is at his best when exploiting the structures of oral performance." - Wumi Raji, author of Long Dreams in Short Chapters: Essays in African Postcolonial Literary, Cultural and Political Criticisms.

Download or read book Double Wahala Double Trouble written by Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike and published by Griots Lounge. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman chops off her finger to demonstrate her fidelity to her lover. A mother loses her mind upon discovering that her husband has left her and their only child. An artist seeks to unravel why his neighbour's face enchants him. A passenger on a bus acts as an emissary of death. Meet some of the characters in Double Wahala Double Trouble, a collection of eleven stories by the award-winning poet, short story writer, children's novelist, and literary scholar. In this stunning collection, Umezurike lures the reader into a journey of the absurd and the grisly to show us men and women struggling to live, desire, love, and thrive against the eddy of troubles in their world. "Umezurike's stories exhibit a range of events, from everyday breakups to rebel military clashes to small-time, small-town opportunists. But at the heart of these stories is the breakdown of relationships, particularly between parents and children. Umezurike has portrayed a world in which too often pride and self-doubt cloud the decisions of adults who shape the futures of their children. The effect on the characters is sometimes baffling, sometimes humorous, often tragic; in these stories, everyone is a victim of someone else's yearnings. Certainly, there are big yearnings in this collection. But Umezurike's clear strength is his ability to show how even the smallest yearning can also be a big wahala." -Bertrand Bickersteth, author of The Response of Weeds "Double Wahala, Double Trouble does everything a work of fiction should do-shock and impress at the same time. Each story here is beautifully crafted, with characters that will linger in the reader's mind long after the reading. Umezurike is a writer with a bright future." - Helon Habila, author of Travellers "Each of Umezurike's stories leads the reader down a comfortable path, until it is abruptly uncomfortable. His consistent skill in twisting plot lines and the driving needs of his characters is rare in short story collections, no matter where they take place. Lost family, betrayals, the idea-and illusion-of home, and grand, fierce gestures of love flow through this book. Reader: let these outstanding stories wash over you." - Kimmy Beach, author of Nuala: A Fable "In these compelling stories, Umezurike limns the lives of ordinary people trying to survive whichever way they can. Whether he is writing about a lover who makes a disturbing and unexpected sacrifice to secure her love or a man who loses his life in a case of mistaken identity, Umezurike's prose shines like something very carefully polished." - Chika Unigwe, author of Better Never Than Late Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike holds a PhD in English from the University of Alberta. He is a poet, fiction writer, essayist, and literary journalist. An alumnus of the International Writing Program, Iowa, USA, Umezurike is a recipient of the James Patrick Folinsbee Memorial Scholarship in Creative Writing from the University of Alberta and the Norma Epstein Foundation Award for Creative Writing from the University of Toronto, among many honours. He is a co-editor of Wreaths for a Wayfarer, an anthology of poems. His children's book, Wish Maker, is forthcoming from Masobe Books in the fall of 2021. He lives in Edmonton, Alberta.
