Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Hyena-Man of Africa Solved is a vibrant collection of short stories by Amani Zawadi. This small collection of five stories, Zawadi's first contribution to fiction, is set against a backdrop of a Southern African landscape. It explores traditional beliefs and attitudes to prejudice, deceit, the lust for power, love, greed and superstition primarily in rural life in Africa.The title story itself explores and demystifies the colourful myth of the hyena-man, a marauding nocturnal beast-man figure, cast in the mould of the legendary Werewolf of Western Europe, dreaded for its savage attacks on man and beast alike. 'Heart-warming, strikingly original and impressively written. Zawadi's poetic style lends itself to painting a picture of aspects of an ever changing African society. These stories are powerful, absorbing and entertaining' -Rita Christian
