"The Rhino in the Paddock" by Tito Alai is a funny and affecting coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of great political and cultural change. It tells the tale of Kenya's postcolonial transition during the 1970s as seen through the eyes of an African boy who finds himself thrust into the alien environment of a British boarding school at the age of six.
Looking back on his childhood, Thwon paints a vivid picture of life on his parents' farm in rural Kenya-his carefree days, his brush with death from cholera, and the visit from his grandfather, when the old man passes his rhino identity to Thwon in accordance with the spirits of the ancestors.
The boy's cleverness, rugged emotional self-sufficiency, and instinctive approach to life will both help and hinder him, as his inherited rhino spirit runs up against the values of his colonial British instructors. But Thwon refuses to conform to the regimenting effects of the Western educational establishment, leading to often hilarious challenges and conflicts that escalate to a dramatic climax.
An engaging story told in a fresh voice, "The Rhino in the Paddock" is a vivacious contribution to the African cultural renaissance.

Описание: Winner of best Short Story in the 2016 Pulp Ark New Pulp Awards for J. Patrick Allen's "Dragonfly Shadow"You can tell a lot about a dragon by their hoard. Not the shiny one, the other one. The one where they keep their favorite things. Some dragons keep a private stash of dwarven-wrought artifices, and others tapestries that run from wall-to-wall and corner-to-corner. The Dragon Lord himself has a library. A library that devours halls and caves, filling them with every kind of book and codex and scroll. These are the stories that fill his favorite shelf. Of course they're his favorites-they're all about dragons. Pull these stories down. Breath in the vanilla scent that only comes from the oldest books. Savor the writing. Trace your fingers over the calligraphy. Welcome to the finest library ever known. Featuring stories by Jilly Paddock, Joanna Hoyt, Claire Davon, J. Patrick Allen, T. Fox Dunham, Dorian Graves, Denarose Fukushima, Kelly A. Harmon, E.A. Fow, Robert W. Caldwell, and Jim Lee.
