"Random Walk: Modern African Stories"

JOHANNESBURG - Aug. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Most stories written about Africa focus on war and poverty, neglecting to show that Africa is a diverse continent with large cities and a growing middle class. Africa’s massive and expanding population is also diverse, so the stories in this book bring out that diversity by exploring complex themes and ideas.
Random Walk: Modern African Stories presents six tales of adult fiction. The stories are independent and are set in different African towns and cities, including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Kinshasa, and Luanda. The story collection features Africans from all walks of life, and covers such themes as spiritualism, and HIV/AIDS and its socioeconomic impact. The book also surveys the issues of economic refugees, depression and other mental health issues, social networking, and love.

These stories use fiction to create awareness about topical issues and could become an impetus to activism. Random Walk is entertaining with a healthy amount of humour. Today’s Africa is a compelling continent where modernity meets tradition, and prejudice and oppression meet freedom and equality.

RANDOM WALK: MODERN AFRICAN STORIES (ISBN: 978-1-62212-418-3) is now available for $16.97 and can be ordered through the publisher’s website:
