They seek healing in love, religion, alcohol and withdrawal from communal ties. So they love deeply, pray fervently, drink heavily and brood self-righteously. And for a while, they find innder peace and even happiness. But the wounds on their souls are deep, so eventually, despite their best efforts, they succumb to utter despair. And yet in their struggles and failures, we see a little bit of ourselves."--Publisher description. 650 0 $a Kenyan literature $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Short stories, Kenyan (English) 650 7 $a Kenyan literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00986822 650 7 $a Short stories, Kenyan (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117256 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 830 0 $a Spear books series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122015113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2EDF0BA22E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
