Khole and Other Untold Stories from A...
Khole and Other Untold Stories from Africa, an anthology of short stories, is based on Chinua Achebe’s postulation about the need for African writers to refrain from Afropolitan rejection of African subjects. This would enable audiences to taste “the balance of stories of the world’s peoples” because, for centuries, readers had been served with a single Western story. The contributors in this collection return to the African past and explore positive attributes of African culture.
Nyongesa’s Khole explores the potential of African spiritual healing in contrast to modern medicine. Muruli Muhandi, in When Kumtoto Dances, is on the pre-eminence of African spirituality as personified in altars that are of great influence in African lives. Robert Rotich’s My Grandfather’s Old Coin is on Kipsisgis marriage rites, while Felix Okuku explores the impact of the spiritual among the Mijikenda of Kenya. The stories, as well as the others in this collection, affirm Edward Blyden’s postulation that African peoples are destined to make an outstanding spiritual contribution to the world.
What Others Say
Khole and Other Stories from Africa is an invaluable textual artifact that preserves the rich oral traditions of African societies. It is a platform for historically marginalized voices and celebrates the resilience of African epistemologies in the face of relentless cultural imperialism. The anthology challenges readers to engage with the complexities of African spiritual and cultural systems, offering insights that transcend mere folkloric appreciation and delve into the deeper philosophical underpinnings of African life. - Prof. John Mugubi, Kenyatta University.
The Blissabyss
The Blissabyss depicts the contradictions inherent in human life and its vulnerability to negative trajectories. Save for Nancy, Eugene, Fresha, and Brenda are idealistic in their youth. As they mature, they come to terms with a world with little room for ideals. Driven by ambition to succeed, Eugene reveals his plans to everyone only to encounter many obstacles on his journey to success. When his brother, Soita attempts to murder him, Eugene comes to terms with his delusions about being strong. Deprived of love and family, his tethers to idealism snap, and he drinks and spends in Nancy’s room contradicting his moral principles. After a fantastic love affair with Frank, Fresha loses her chastity. Eugene would have continued in his chosen destructive path without Professor Mukabi’s intervention. The author’s message: a supportive social environment is the sole prescription to mitigate the weaknesses ingrained in human nature.
What Others Say
“The characters in The Blissabyss represent a society at a crossroads with individuals seeking to find their feet and place in the face of shifting identities and generational transformations. Their interactions and experiences at the university cast aspersions on their long-held beliefs and open them to new vistas of a future that are substantially different from what they have been made to believe. These young characters act as a link betweewn the age-old beliefs and the future possibilities which need a sincere and rational engagement devoid of misconceptions and half-truths. This they do with varying degrees of success.” - Dr Maurice S Mwichuli, Lecturer, Literary Studies, Kenyatta University
“In The Blissabyss, Andrew Nyongesa uses elegant, contemplative language with a mix of poetic imagery and emotional depth. The text is rich and expressive creating vivid images of the settings. The description helps the readers to visualize the characters’ inner worlds and their interactions.” - Juliet Achieng’, Editor, Nsemia Inc.

In a career span of nearly four decades, Jimnah retired with full honors from Kenya Airways in 2016.
