A collection of multi-genre short stories: mostly contemporary drama, with a few forays into science fiction and fantasy. A student falls for a beautiful and dangerous woman. An opium addict is drawn into international intrigue. Two brothers struggle with the expectations of their famous parents. An aging actor fights his own demons and dreams of a comeback. A pair of lovers strive for a lasting connection in a post-pandemic world. A ghost lingers in the material world to help those left behind. A cabal of opossums are banding together to bring the revolution. Note: The collection contains "Singapura" (nominated for the 2023 Best American Short Stories anthology) & "The Brothers Evanger" (first runner-up for the 2022 Harambee Literary Prize).
