Such a taboo topic amongst our 'elders' and even some of our youth, yet you managed to convey an entertaining story so naturally. What a gift. Now I want to read the entire Bed Book of Short Stories.<br /><br />The Caine Prize has done well to put you out there for us, like this. Congratulations once again and keep up your creative energy.<br /><br />Those readings in London will be a breeze!Hana Njau-Okolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978662559579409259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-8494692710339857572011-05-10T12:15:51.950+02:002011-05-10T12:15:51.950+02:00Yes Novuyo- BIG but I'm trying not to think ab...Yes Novuyo- BIG but I'm trying not to think about all of those scary readings in London. :(Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-32029534586638462882011-05-10T12:14:10.781+02:002011-05-10T12:14:10.781+02:00And like you say Jude being shortlisted is very im...And like you say Jude being shortlisted is very important and comes with a lot of wonderful things: trip to London, meetings wite agents, next year's Caine workshop.

I've had two other stories submitted in past years that have done nohting so I know the competition is stiff.
