Most of you will, by now, have become aware of the fact that I recently published an ebook titled "She froze her balls and other stories," on amazon. The book is a collection of short stories, which I wrote over the past few years.
The subject? Well... She froze her balls and other stories deals with the day to day lives of ordinary people in Africa. In this case the heroes are not some Hollywood movies stars, but people who, like you and me, prevail over the many odds that are, daily, staked in their paths. The book is thus about hope, for what is life without a bit of hope?
Whats important is that at the end of the day people prevail. Yes they sell tomatoes and vegetables for a living, but that in no way should be taken as a measure of their happiness. Yes, there are thieves who prowl for the weak, but which continent does not have these? What matters at the end of the day is the vibrancy of Africa and the richness of its culture and people.
Despite all the odds, people can afford to laugh at their woes. She froze her balls and other stories is thus intended as a (somewhat) satirical portrayal of life in the African neighbourhood. The characters represent any African and, on a global scale, any ordinary person in the world. That is because despite what many may think and believe, it is these ordinary people who keep the world rolling.
