A CONTROVERSIAL WORK FROM EAST AFRICA!
In her quest to find
happiness and success, Pesh—a young and
sexually liberated university student—is thrown into a world of betrayal,
heartbreak, and unfiltered lust. Her complicated relationship with her family
makes life even more hellish for her. But in all the turmoil that haunts her
existence, she remains strong, hoping that
the dark nights will soon be replaced by much-needed dawn. Will she ever find
the perfect man? Will she ever see better days?
Moraa Masalai says,
Forget 50 Shades Of Grey. This is the best
erotic novel of all time for me…
Courtesy, goodreads
Why does much of the world often regard sex as "controversial "? Hypocrisy eh...
ReplyDeleteA young woman here "exploring her sexuality" being "sexually liberated"... one always feels uneasy when the author of such a book is a man. Do men really want women to be sexually liberated? Our African men over the decades? A woman will always have doubts when even very great male writer like Chinua Achebe gives the impression that women are sex objects (see A Man of the People, eg). Even the title here, Fornicator gives impression of negativity, the woman already judged.
ReplyDeleteThe author is from Kenya, which has produced many excellent writers like Ngugi, Meja Mwangi, David Maillu, ... But the author here is still very young.... vibrant and exceedingly interested in sex?
ReplyDeleteCelebrating the wide variety, themes and nuances of creative African Writing
ReplyDeleteInterestingly there was a much earlier book (also from East Africa) titled The sobbing sounds which also featured many interesting sex scenes. The book published in the 70s or so, was written by Omunjakko Nakibimbiri. Anybody remember it?
ReplyDeleteWould like to read this book too ...no doubt the work goes well beyond sex or titillation. The author apparently is very talented.
ReplyDeleteQuite Interesting.
