About this book

Albert Einstein in the Belgian Congo: And Other Stories, Plays, and One Soliloquy by Chishimba M. Lumbwe is a collection that moves across short fiction, drama and reflective writing. The volume showcases Lumbwe's imaginative range through stories, plays and a soliloquy, blending humour, speculation, social observation and African settings. Its title piece places the iconic physicist Albert Einstein in an unexpected Central African context, setting the tone for a collection willing to combine history, imagination and cultural encounter in unconventional ways. Bibliographic records describe the book as a 140-page English-language collection of short stories, drama and soliloquies, published in Lusaka by Sotrane Publishers in 2024. It is suited to readers who enjoy inventive African writing that crosses literary forms rather than remaining within a single genre. The book offers a varied reading experience for literature students, creative writers and general readers interested in contemporary Zambian storytelling.
