    In her powerful, genre-bending debut story collection, Nana Nkweti's virtuosity is on full display as she mixes deft realism with clever inversions of genre. In the Caine Prize finalist story "It Takes a Village, Some Say," Nkweti skewers racial prejudice and the practice of international adoption, delivering a sly tale about a teenage girl who leverages her adoptive parents to fast-track her fortunes. In "The Devil Is a Liar," a pregnant pastor's wife struggles with the collision of western Christianity and her mother's traditional Cameroonian belief system as she worries about her unborn child. 
     
     
     
    In other stories, Nkweti vaults past realism, upending genre expectations in a satirical romp about a jaded PR professional trying to spin a zombie outbreak in West Africa, and in a mermaid tale about a Mami Wata who forgoes her power by remaining faithful to a fisherman she loves. In between these two ends of the spectrum there's everything from an aspiring graphic novelist at a comic con to a murder investigation driven by statistics to a story organized by the changing hairstyles of the main character. 
     
     
     
    A dazzling, inventive debut, Walking on Cowrie Shells announces the arrival of a superlative new voice.

    "On the Gulls' Road" is a touching short story by Willa Cather, first published in McClure's in December 1908. A fellow painter visits the narrator, and is mesmerised by his painting of Alexandra Ebbling, a married woman, whom the narrator met on a ship from Genoa to New York City. On the ship, he and Mrs. Ebbling enjoyed many conversations about life, love, and personal experiences. The courtship goes on for the entire trip and grows stronger each day. The man is smitten by Mrs. Ebbling and cannot wait until the next time they meet. The man paints a picture of Mrs. Ebbling while they talk and enjoy the sunshine and the sea so he can always remember the woman. They tell each other things about their hopes and dreams. All the while Mrs. Ebbling knows that nothing can come of the affair. She is married and close to death. The man has high hopes for her to run away with him but she has to tell him that it can never happen. Mrs. Ebbling gives the man a gift that he is not to open until she tells him to. In the following winter, he is informed that she had died. Inside the gift she had given him, there is a letter from her thanking him for all the memories he gave her of a love that almost happened, along with a lock of her golden hair, a withered magnolia flower, and two pink sea shells. In the end, theirs was a love that stood the test of time, separation, and even death.

    Stefan Zweig's "Obligation" is a riveting narrative that delves into the depths of human conscience, honor, and the moral quandaries that shape our destinies. Set in the early 20th century, this masterful work captures the essence of internal struggle through the life of its protagonist, a man ensnared by a promise made in a moment of desperation. 
    The story unfolds as the protagonist, a respected individual within his community, faces an unexpected moral dilemma. Years ago, he made a vow under circumstances that he believed would never resurface to challenge the integrity of his word. However, when the past comes knocking in an unforeseen manner, he is thrust into a vortex of ethical introspection and societal judgment. 
    Zweig, with his unparalleled ability to explore the psychological landscapes of his characters, crafts a tale that is not only about the weight of a promise but also about the complex interplay of duty, societal expectations, and personal integrity. The protagonist's journey is a compelling exploration of how one's sense of obligation can dictate the course of one's life, often leading to unforeseen consequences and internal conflicts. 
    "Obligation" is a testament to Zweig's genius in portraying the nuanced battles that rage within the human soul. It is a story that resonates with the timeless theme of how personal honor and the sense of duty can lead to a crucible of decision-making, where every choice comes with its own set of repercussions. This novel is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the art of psychological narrative and the exploration of moral dilemmas in the human experience.
