walk
and other stories” is out! Prepare to buy a copy. As Kenyan
writer Ngugi Wa Thiongo wrote: Hama Tuma continues to brilliantly
capture the contradictions that make up the real Ethiopia of the twentiethy
century. This collection is focused on the people of the city and
life under a new cruel dictatorship. The stories are tragic but infused
with hope and strength of the Ethiopian spirit. It is a must read
book. The stories are thrilling, moving and unfrogettable.
Writing
the actual text of a book, I think, is only half of the job; the other
half is giving it a fitting title. When I decided to use the word
Fetena –which, in the Amharic language, means a challenge, or
a test, or an exam– as the title of my book, I had to consider
several factors that compel me to write inquisitive verses.To me,
the word is embedded with several meaningful ideas that are the very
characteristics of human existence. Our individual or communal life
is full of challenges that, more often than not, make us stronger
and wiser; at least all of us hope that this would be the case.
