It is also Chimeka Garricks?s love letter to his native city, Port Harcourt, introducing us to a cast of indelible characters in these loosely interlocked tales.There is the teenage wannabe-DJ eager to play his first gig even as his family disastrously falls apart?who reappears many years later as an unhappy middle-aged man drunk-calling his ex-wife; a man who throws a living funeral for his dying brother; three friends who ponder penis captivus and one?s peculiar erectile dysfunction; a troubled woman who tries to find her peace-place in the world, helped by a headful of songs and a pot of ginger tea.Infused with the author?s resonant and evocative storytelling, each page holds ?the depth of a novel? (Hari Kunzru); a character, a moment that will?like a favorite song?long linger in the heart and mind.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57696713212239,"sku":"9780063268197","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9780063268197_1-broken-peoples-playlist-a.jpg?v=1778786533","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/broken-peoples-playlist-a","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
