Editorial reviews
Small Hours in Accra holds its nerve long after most novels would have flinched.

Kwame Mensah writes about the hours nobody schedules anything in. Small Hours in Accra is eleven linked stories, all set between midnight and five.
He signs and numbers every hardcover himself, which is why there are only ever three hundred.

The night nurse story
Story four is the best short story I have read this year. The signed hardcover is beautifully made — heavier paper than I expected.
