description: A Broken Peoples Playlist is a collection of short stories with underlying themes so beautifully woven that each story flows into the other seamlessly. From its poignant beginning in Lost Stars a story about love and its fleeting transient nature to the gritty raw musical prose encapsulated in In The City a tale of survival set in the alleyways of the waterside. A Broken Peoples Playlist is a mosaic of stories about living loving and hurting through very familiar sounds in very familiar ways and finding healing in the most unlikely places.The stories are also part-homage and part-love letter to Port Harcourt (the city which most of them are set in). The prose is distinctive as it is concise and unapologetically Nigerian. And because the collection is infused with the magic of evocative storytelling everyone is promised a story a character to move or haunt them.
