| Publisher Description: Beegu City is an anthology of short stories written from West Turkana District in the northwestern part of Kenya in 2018. These short distinct stories deep dive into what it means to become an expatriate in a foreign land. Noxious snakes, venomous scorpions, creepy millipedes, inadequate food rations, unswerving sunbeams, and refugee life in general, set these short saccharine stories apart from many others. Beegu, a tamarind kind of a desert tree sits at the center of this masterpiece, a novel. Is it a choice to become a refugee? Well, these stories promise nothing to answer these possible questions. Hitherto, these stories expose several events of life, suffering, and hope. Life is a journey we take individually, hence the aim of this artistic creation. Discover which African countries are mostly presented in Beegu City, a city made of thorns and Beegu fences, a refugee camp. These stories are real though they carry with them the artist's voice wherever they may travel. We first got lost in the Beegu City before we were found. Will you get lost and then be found? |
