Ten tragicomic tales of environmental and personal disaster from the margins of town and country.

A motorway bridge becomes a father.

Malevolent bacteria plague a polar icebreaker.

A bioengineered abomination lurks in a Gloucestershire railway terminus.

The weekly bin collection pushes a man over the edge.

A former squatter clings to her home on a crumbling cliff.

Joyriders are foiled by Anglo Saxon floodwaters.

Vampiric entities stalk B&Q.

And fiery catastrophe comes to the zoo.

    ""A dozen interlinked, music-oriented stories set in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, where Garricks was raised... Each songlike story feels like a breakout hit encapsulating the brokenness and the beauty in life’s soundtrack.""—Booklist, starred review 
    “Beautifully woven . . . a magical delight.”—Hari Kunzru, author of White Tears 
    A Broken People’s Playlist is set to the soundtrack of life, comprised of twelve music-inspired tales about love, the human condition, micro-moments, and the search for meaning and sometimes, redemption. It is also Chimeka Garricks’s love letter to his native city, Port Harcourt, introducing us to a cast of indelible characters in these loosely interlocked tales. 
    There is the teenage wannabe-DJ eager to play his first gig even as his family disastrously falls apart—who reappears many years later as an unhappy middle-aged man drunk-calling his ex-wife; a man who throws a living funeral for his dying brother; three friends who ponder penis captivus and one’s peculiar erectile dysfunction; a troubled woman who tries to find her peace-place in the world, helped by a headful of songs and a pot of ginger tea. 
    Infused with the author’s resonant and evocative storytelling, each page holds “the depth of a novel” (Hari Kunzru); a character, a moment that will—like a favorite song—long linger in the heart and mind.

    This collection of 21 short stories was gathered from all of my present works and some that were never published before, and in fact just recently completed. 
    There are some science fiction stories in there, some ironic, others mysterious and yet others just plain silly. I'll let you decide which is which. 
    I hope that you find it a quick and enjoyable read. Thank You for choosing this book to read.
