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.
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...

A sparkling anthology of short stories featuring the first twenty winners of the Caine Prize, Africa's premier literary competition.
