“Outside, it was a time of rain; inside, it was a time of darkness.” A government official’s past comes back to haunt him in distressingly familiar form. Read “Mayai, Minister of Disease” by Euphrase Kezilahabi (tr. Richard Prins): wordswithoutborders.org/read/article...
ALT: Mayai, Minister of Disease By Euphrase Kezilahabi, translated from Kiswahili by Richard Prins. There were ten kids at the table. Nine of them were sitting in chairs. The tenth, he saw, was Liberation, dressed in the clothes they buried him in and spreading butter and jam on slices of bread. Though well-dressed, he looked frail and sickly. The nine other children were ragged, filthy, their frocks torn to strips. Their eyes sank into their faces. They were piteous. Liberation signaled that his father should stand back, watch, and say nothing.” Mayai, Minister of Disease By Euphrase Kezilahabi, translated from Kiswahili by Richard Prins “The morning birds began to chirp their bewitching tunes that would haul the sun out of the sea. The minister opened the window facing the statehouse. He saw the guards circling and circling the gate, and in the garden, peacocks strutting and flashing their tails.” Image: Pencil drawing of a figure coming face to face with an elephant.
