The stories in this collection span a time period from 2003 to almost
2023. They are offered as my witness to the planetary moment I've been
part of, the continent of Africa that I was born on, and the difficult
country that formed me. They reflect the changing times, contexts and
concerns that have engrossed and troubled me. The golden thread that
binds their disparate voices and themes together is my own lifelong
wresting with the deep questions of our bipolar human journal of a
wobbling planet.
