Feast, Famine and Potluck

Kenya’s Okwiri Oduor won the 2014 Caine Prize for African Writing for her short story entitled ‘My Father's Head’ from this 2014 collection.

A dazzling collection from across the African continent and diaspora - here SHORT STORY DAY AFRICA has assembled the best nineteen stories from their 2013 competition. Food is at the centre of stories from authors emerging and established, blending the secular, the supernatural, the old and the new in a spectacular celebration of short fiction. Civil wars, evictions, vacations, feasts and romances - the stories we bring to our tables that bring us together and tear us apart.
