Double wahala double trouble

A woman chops off her finger to

demonstrate her fidelity to her lover. A mother loses her mind upon discovering that her husband has left her and their only child. An artist seeks to unravel why his neighbour's face enchants him.

A passenger on a bus serves as an emissary of death.

These are some of the characters in Double Trouble, Double Wahala, a collection of stories by the award-winning poet, short story writer, children's novelist, and literary scholar.

In this stunning collection, Umezurike lures the reader into a journey of the absurd and the grisly to show us men and women struggling to live, desire, love, and thrive against the eddy of troubles in their world.
