My next piece is up at Global Voices Online:
Uganda’s bloggers are increasingly using their blogs as forums for literary expression, and online poems, short stories and multi-part novellas are becoming increasingly popular.
Carsozy is one of the blogren’s most prolific creative writers. His series, The Devil’s Bonfire, is the story of Simon Katende, a young Kampalan who leaves the city to visit his grandfather and gets mixed up in things he doesn’t understand:
He was halfway to the bar when he saw her, his entire body froze and his mouth opened in shock, the glass slipped from his fingers and fell to the ground.
Featured in the piece are Carsozy, Jon Gosier and Gay Uganda.
