Karen Jennings is a wonderful story writer. In just a few sentences she is able to paint a picture of a community, frame a life, and make you see and even almost smell a place.
Together the stories highlight facets of African society and in particular South Africa. Karen Jennings has a touching way of writing about the lives of the underdogs. The distinctions between the different layers of society are beautifully captured.
Many of the stories have been published in magazines or anthologies. From Dark won the Africa Region prize in the Commonwealth Short Story Competition in 2010 and The Shark won the English section of the Maskew Miller Longman short story competition in 2009.
