I grew up reading 'Whispers' by Wahome Mutahi.
That is why, when I was asked to write a novella to be submitted for the award named after the great satirist, I was stuck. Where was I to start?

I knew that for the story to live up to expectations, it had to, first of all, be humourous.
Which was tough for me seeing that I am the one who wrote about tribal violence in 'Villains' and extra judicial killings in 'Den of Inequities'.
I found the solution in Wahome himself
