In the title story, five-year-old Colomba tells of a merciless overlord, hunger or igifu, gnawing away at her belly. She searches for sap at the bud of a flower, scraps of sweet potato at the foot of her parent's bed, or a few grains of sorghum in the floor sweepings. Igifu becomes a dizzying hole in her stomach, a plunging abyss into which she falls. In a desperate act of preservation, Colomba's mother gathers enough sorghum to whip up a nourishing porridge, bringing Colomba back to life. This elixir courses through each story, a balm to soothe the pains of those so ferociously fighting for survival"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Genocide $z Rwanda $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Stump, Jordan, $d 1959- $e translator. 941 $a 11 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021448.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025011303.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014436.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024243.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20220212025551.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064132.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20210416010055.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210319010052.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210105041301.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20201103013006.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20201103012420.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99D68A56CCAA11EAB0EB862797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
