Each of the realistic worlds Billy Kahora brings us in the short stories and novella that make up The Cape Cod Bicycle War and Other Stories explores the tensions and transitions of characters moving between youthful folly and a precarious adulthood. In the title story, immigrant workers with varying ambitions work at a Wendy's in wintry Cape Cod. Sharing one house, they must also share, or rather compete for, bicycles--crucial transportation--which are in short supply.

In other stories, a young man caught between a broken family and political violence befriends an aged gorilla in a Nairobi zoo; a pastor struggles to come to terms with the arrest of his brother, who is suspected of terrorism; and a dissolute bank employee on a serious bender returns to work to face a review board.

The Cape Cod Bicycle War and Other Stories is Billy Kahora's long-awaited debut collection. Stories in this volume have appeared in Granta and McSweeney's and have been shortlisted for the Caine Prize for African Writing.

Perfect Pillow!
Size: Ultra Slim (2.75-Inch Height), Color: Blue
I have spent so much money trying to find the right pillow. As a side sleeper I would always wake up with a stiff neck but not with this pillow! It’s a perfect height and the pillow stays fairly cool. It’s totally my Goldilocks pillow!❤️

Great!
This SUPA MODERN Reading Pillow is absolutely what I have been searching for. I added a thick mattress topper to my twin bed and suddenly the wedge pillow I had was below the top of the mattress so I needed something else to put against the rails at the head. This reading pillow is almost exactly the same width as this standard twin. The pillow was shipped vacuum packed and looked so lumpy I was fearful it would never be comfortable but I followed the instructions and left it alone except for an occasional shake to fluff it for 72 hours. As often as I get stuff that’s vacuum packed I was still amazed by how this turned out. It’s very full and firm I’m sure some folks will like that you can remove some of the filler to soften it but I find it very comfortable as is. The shape does give it a little more lumbar support than similar pillows I have had in the past. The fabric cover is super soft but has yet to make me overheat. It does have pockets on the arms but they’re not very big I wouldn’t put much in there I was worried about falling. This is not the cheapest reading pillow but it’s far and away not the most expensive. As I was writing this review I saw that it has been marked down 20% PLUS there’s a 30% off coupon. That puts it down around the cheapest price point for a far superior pillow. Go get one NOW!!! I highly recommend this Reading Pillow!
