Opis

An anthology of short stories and poetry capturing the mood of a white African migrant easing into European life. Often bordering on the politically incorrect it reflects the author's wonder at his experiences settling in the UK as he explores his new abode by bus, train and afoot. The people he meets inspire the stories, but the reader must decide whether they are fact or fiction. The sub-text includes the moral decay of a Europe, once the harbinger of light, education and Christianity, now exporting tools of death and destruction but reveals a respect for life in Britain generally. The work is divided into five components. Paradise and Abroad about relationships between people going about their business in public places, on the transport systems locally, in Germany and France. Doggerel and Crambo contains the verse. The stories in Tilting at Windmills are darker. Almost Discarded Baggage has a South African flavour with Mhlobo Wam, Xhosa for My Friend, as the main narrator.
