Kipligat's Chance Quotes

“At sunrise, between the cock’s first and second crows, Koech high steps to the distant rumble of a train. His breath ivory in a landscape clipped by a guinea fowl’s clapped wings, his bigass afro tipping grandly in the wind.

He shambles into a clearing and descends towards a clear stream, perch swimming in clusters through a shallow bed. Then he disappears into a swivel of sugarcane before reappearing with dew-clad ankles among grazing grounds once populated by the sausage tree.”
― David N. Odhiambo, Kipligat's Chance
