Kyuka’s novels and novellas are a journey and a party of wits and refined humor. Writing on serious social issues, he writes on these issues in such a comic satirical way that makes his novels and novellas tragicomedies of sort. His choice of themes for his fictional works and his handling of his chosen themes always produce moving good and great works of art that entertain the heart as they engage the mind. There is pace and economy of language in his works as there is depth and density. Writing on African issues, there is always something fresh and exotic in his literary brew that seems to come from the cellar of African gods.Reader Reviews
