There is a sense of adventure in the anthology The Daily Assortment of Astonishing Things and Other Stories, put together from last year’s entries to the Caine Prize for African Writing.
From the fantasy genre, Zambian Bwanga Kapumpa writes in The Wandering Festival, “Her hair was alive; a constant stream of liquid dreadlocks emanated from the top of her head and covered her bare breasts… I tried to look at Mlenga, her face even more beautiful in the creeping light. I looked into her big eyes and drowned in the pools of their spellbinding essence. She slowly faded and disappeared with the rising sun, along with the rest of the non-human festival attendees.”
