In prose that is "brave and poetic" and poetry that's "natural...like lava," the author plies his text in almost a hundred short stories, poems, flash fictions, and one short play, and as Kelechi borrows the mouths of the obliging dead, the living, and the inanimate, this collection - "pierced through with humour and ambition"- displays the variety of human nature in "clear, understandable, and playful eloquence".
