520    "Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Caine Prize 
       for African Writing, this collection showcases all twenty 
       prize-winning short stories - each with its own unique 
       take on modern African life. A jailer's love poems ghost-
       written by a prisoner... Love blossoming between two girls
       despite the horror of their community... Street kids stick
       -fighting or stealing guavas from the rich... A dystopian 
       world where women must go naked until they marry... 
       Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Caine Prize 
       for African Writing - often referred to as the 'African 
       Booker Prize' - this collection showcases all twenty prize
       -winning short stories, each with its own unique take on 
       modern African life. As Ben Okri says, in his special 
       introduction for this anthology: 'Whether in the cities or
       in the villages, whether it is in East or West or South or
       North Africa, something pulses through the varied and 
       oddly unified life of the continent that lends itself to 
       the framing that the short story excels at. Whether it is 
       the celebration, the marketplace, the bus stop, the ritual,
       the family, the funeral, comradeship, grisly death, sexual
       awakening, the short story catches the experience, holds 
       it at an angle, illuminates it."--Back cover.
