The Shallow Tales Review, Nigerian-based electronic literary magazine dedicated to curating new and established voices from Africa, has released its 34th issue. The issue themed “DISRUPTION” was released on the 31st of July, 2021.
This edition features a conversation with Zimbabwean author, T.L. Huchu; two short stories, six essays, and nine poems, with contributors selected from Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
The issue celebrates fragments of disruptions which foretell hope for the African future. “Here, we see creatives who are breaking away, showing disconnect from the status quo,” says poetry editor, Chidiebube onye Okohia, in the issue’s editorial. “In truth, disruption assumes a colourful stance as these writers try to tell their different stories.”
Some contributors in this issue include: Enit’ayanfe Ayosojumi Akinsanya (Nigeria), Abu Bakr Sadiq (Nigeria), Darlington Chibueze Anuonye (Nigeria), Turi Ekirapa (Kenya), Carl Terver (Nigeria), Busamoya Phodiso Modirwa (Botswana), and others. The official cover photo was designed by Peter Ogunjinrin, with the art/photographs by Nigerian photographer, Jude Hindan.
Issue 34 was edited by Nzube Nlebedim (fiction), Chidiebube onye Okohia (poetry) and Orji Victor Ebubechukwu (nonfiction). Media sponsors were Brittle Paper, James Murua Literary Blog, and Africa in Words.
