In a sense, this new crop of fiction blends personal experiences, social and cultural happenings with love that fashions some kind of bitter-sweet, happy-sad, swing as you read the stories. It equally blends multiple levels of narration each with their own unique style in a fascinating way to tell a story; mostly in the story-telling fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip Foday Yamba Thulla was born in Lunsar, Sierra Leone.
