Oluseyi Adegbola War Tales

Annotation

WAR TALES is a collection of reality as much as it is a collection of short fiction. It tells of love sometimes unrequited love and stubborn hope, of vengeance and madness. It tells of people and places devoid of distinction between dream and reality. It however predominantly tells of war, as Silas puts it: There are those who kill in the believe that it is a direct instruction from God and a prerequisite for eternal life, there are also those afflicted by bitterness, anger, frustration and a host of negative emotions which having been suppressed unsuccessfully, erupt and destroy much good. In WAR TALES & Other Short Stories, anything is possible. You will meet David King on his messianic quest, Abu and the baffling love he has for his boss, Aunt Dorcas who finds herself a husband against all odds and several other remarkable characters.
