\"inferno<\/p>\n

Poignant and honest\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Akinyemi\u2019s first collection of short stories dazzles with elegant prose, genuine emotions, and Nigerian cultural lore as it plumbs both the socio-cultural issues and the depths of love, loss, grief, and personal trauma. Spontaneous and sharp \u201cBlack lives Matter\u201d explores racism as the gifted footballer protagonist tries his luck in European leagues and realizes that as a man of color, he must examine his own role in taking a stand against racism. Depicting both the societal challenges and the unspoken truths and burdens that the protagonist has to bear in the title story \u201cInferno of Silence,\u201d Akinyemi examines the fine line that separates feminism from extremism. The serial womanizer in \u201cReturn Journey\u201d confronts his own wrong choices but not before the time runs out for him. In \u201cTrouble in Umudike,\u201d Akinyemi explores family ties, relationships, guilt, grief, revenge, and redemption. In \u201cEverybody don Kolomental,\u201d Akinyemi examines the stigma associated with mental health issues through his protagonist\u2019s story of dealing with depression, emphasizing the need for acceptance, respect, and equitable treatment of people with mental health problems. \u201cIn the Trap of Seers\u201d is a young woman\u2019s journey (who is forced to go through prejudice and unfair treatment because of her gender) from extreme ordeal to redemption as she fights her way through old, pointless superstitions. In \u201cBlinded by silence\u201d a woman meets the same fate as her mother after political disquiet changes her husband\u2019s fortune. Candid and evocative, Akinyemi\u2019s collection examine both the socio-economic issues and the complex theme of personal dilemma. Lovers of literary fiction will be rewarded. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
