Korondo-Panic! Joshua Araka

"Articles in this book overflow with humour and thought-provoking jokes. The way Araka twists and plays around with the names of public figures, their actions and inactions, and blends it with the joys and disappointments of 'ordinary' citizens is on another level. The style is readable and appealing.

The articles revolve around the novel Coronavirus disease. This is a time to be told and retold to present and future generations." - Rose Kong'ani Keya, Book Editor and Teacher.




"The author has banked on wordplay to offer his contribution in chronicling a critical moment in our lives when COVID-19 threw the world into panic and confusion. The book tells of humanity's inadequacies, hits and misses. Through his trademark satire, Araka shows that as human beings, we

deserve better and can do better even when caught up in difficulties. - Dr. Edna Thamm, Gutenbergschule, Leipzig.




"Many occurrences happen in everyday life and can go unnoticed despite being significant. Araka is a gifted writer that makes such occurrences memorable through satire and humour. The themes in the articles including political manipulations, exploitation, corruption, family relations, hypocrisy, traditions, and modern technology are well intertwined in the writer's rich narrative style with vivid descriptions that capture the reader to achieve

reading this collection in the shortest time possible. I recommend this collection to readers that wish to relive occurrences in their lives and surroundings in a laughable way." - George Onkundi, Principal, Nyamira School.
