Produktinformationen zu „Reasonable Doubt (ePub)“
The novel Reasonable Doubt begins with a boy born to two odd couplesa male teacher and his female underage student. The teacher had statutorily raped his student, and she conceived a male child. The couple died without seeing their son. This boy, to the amazement of the people who saw him, was born without a shadow, but his shadow appeared when he turned two years old. The boy was raised by his half-atheist, maternal grandfather, who was a war veteran, and other Christian family members. The boy grew up to be a genius who, like his grandfather, started questioning popular societal beliefs on politics and religion. He later opts to become a medical doctor. As a medical intern in another town, he and his cousin, who turned out to be a corrupt police officer, robbed a corrupt politician. The politician was ultimately killed by the doctor due to the latters ideology and the formers way of life. The young doctor justifies his action of killing the doctor with reasons. After killing the politician, he saves his stubborn landlady who almost died from appendicitis by operating on her at a state hospital where he works on his off shift. Later, he meets the landladys daughter who falls in love with him, and they eventually become a couple at the end of the story. The doctor had also met mystical beings Jesus and Satan in his flat on the day of the murder and debates with them about their existence. The young man, although he had killed another human being, strongly believe it was necessary. To him, there is no actual right or wrong, but those beliefs are all man-made. And although he had killed someone, he was never apprehended by the law because he and his corrupt police cousin defeated the cause of justice by tampering the evidence. This doctor had later helped a poor family with some of the money that they robbed from the dead politician. The title of the novel is based on the doubts that the young doctor developed because of how he was raised.
The short stories are self-explanatory as they are not very long. National Natives is about the political illusions that most voters believe and not question thoroughly. A Man with No Soul deals with the question of the existence of a soul; that its religious definition makes less sense if examined. Rosas New Song is about a young woman who grew up in the city, and when she visited the village as an adult, she experiences a cultural clash. Not A common Human Being is about journalists whose work is not really about protecting people from danger, but simply to report matters which sometimes do not work to the interest the victim before them. With Snow White deals with the fact that some African people aspire to live like European people at a cost that is unnatural; thus making a fool out of themselves.

Autoren-Porträt von Fisha Nekongo
My name is Nekongo Nekongo, Fisha is my childhood name.I was born on the thirteenth of September 1983 in Luderitz, a small coastal town south of Namibia on the African continent. My father was a baker, but is now a subsistence farmer, and my mother was unemployed. They married before I was born and divorced when I was about seven years old. I’m the first born of my parents and have two younger brothers and three sisters. I grew up mostly with my father in Luderitz.
My mother, who I don’t really know well, was mostly at the village. She succumbed to breast cancer in 2014. I knew very little about my mother. Everything I have learned I owe to my father who, although an uneducated man in the classroom due to lack of opportunity in his youthful years, is naturally a wise man who believes in the need to educate people.
I studied and completed my high school in Luderitz and went further to study at a college in another town. Due to financial constraints, I couldn’t go to the University of Namibia in the capital city where I was accepted after I had finished grade twelve when my father’s job closed down. Growing up I always wanted to be a professional football player or a rapper.
I was influenced by Tupac and Nas (American rappers) as a child. I was fascinated at how they rapped about real-life situations, and therefore my stories are all about real life situations mixed with fiction.
I was a good midfield player and had won numerous medals in the Diamond soccer league at Luderitz where I played for a club called Diamond City Football Club ever since I was about twelve years old. I, however, stopped playing when I was twenty years old as I found Namibian soccer not competent enough to make a career out of it.
I started writing short stories when I was twelve years old, but only as an occasional hobby for English classes, for creative writing, or as assignments. I stopped writing when I was in eighth grade.
On second of September 2014, I accidentally

started writing my first novel “Reasonable Doubt” on a laptop that I wasn’t really comfortable to write with. I simply felt bored on that day and decided to write something, so Reasonable Doubt came up. I finished writing the novel in three months’ time, then followed by several short stories that I wrote using my smart phone. It was more comfortable, so I usually finish in a week or in a few days. Some of the short stories I wrote were lost when my phone got lost before saving the short stories in my email (risky part).
I never thought writing stories was something I could make a career out of, but I always knew I am capable of writing stories. I do not believe in talents. I believe people work hard to get things right, and writing is about working hard to study life and then put that experience into a story.
The stories I write are especially dedicated to a close friend of mine named Frans Awene, a very brilliant human being whom I had never ceased to learn from. We have always been fans of knowledge.
For now, in brief, I am an aspiring author and a businessman.
(Will send my picture separately A.S.A.P, plus three more short stories: With Snow white, National Natives and Rosa’s New Song) NB: the original title of With Snow White was ‘Burned Cakes’.
