Sesay's stories captivate not only by the power of his imagination, but also the spontaneous ways in which his characters break into song and employ indigenous languages and slangs...
Elizabeth L.A. Kamara, Poet, Lecturer, Department of Language Studies, Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone
All the stories in the collection have a balance of characters facing personal crises; a genuinely moving chronicle of their private lives.
Philip Foday Yamba Thulla (PhD), Director, INSLACS, Njala University, and writer
Intriguing collection of short stories tied together by themes of love fate and destiny and told in an engaging colloquial style seasoned with humour that tempers the pervading sense of tragedy than runs through the collection.
Mohamed Sheriff, playwright, novelist
In his writing, Gibril journeys to the fringes of our culture and dives deep into the trenches of the angst and anguish of the marginalized to exhume stories and characters left to wallow in the frills of society.
Oumar Farouk Sesay, Poet, Novelist
What makes this collection so dialectically pleasing is not only its ubiquity of themes; its Socratic dialectics, its characters' love tiffs and the intellectual word play or pun or conundrums aside; but it also has this real ability of contextualising slangs.
Njanguma S. Momodu, Educator, Poet
Sesay spins a canvas of filth and supposed purity; a world that would come crashing on top of each other with reverberating consequences laid bare for all to see, reflect and, perhaps, rise again.
