<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the Nigerian language Igbo iberibe means messed up. This stunning short story collection by Kasimma grabs readers and pulls them into the cities and villages of today's Nigeria. Against the glare of smart phone screens, spirits of the dead flicker, elders admonish their grown children, rituals are done in secret, and the scars of war are just below the surface in the lives of astonishingly vivid characters. Kasimma's stories effortlessly inhabit the dark, alluring, and beautiful spaces between mystical Nigerian traditions and our strange contemporary condition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Kasimma is a brave, inventive, new voice.
