Synopsis: Micho Sangera weaves a rich tapestry deriving from carefully selected urban tropes to come up with a taut, emotion-charged short story collection in which supposed friends turn out to be deadly rivals, friendships are lost and won again and in which everything is not what it seems. 10 Sojourner's Tales simultaneously shows us that storytelling is much more than characters as vehicles taking the plotline forward, as it references some of the more unconventional narrative styles, thereby revealing to us that sometimes form is equally important alongside the account itself. From reverse narratology, diction-bending narration to characters speaking to us from the afterlife, the collection recounts unlikely motivations behind the depicted actions of its characters, making us chortle in the process when not invoking in us the empathy that brings out our humanity through scenes of pathos that show literature is as much about lived experiences as storytelling.
