Disorder collection

By: Uzodinma Iweala

Narrated by: Nyambi Nyambi

Welcome back to America! For a man trapped in the Homeland Security machine, passing through customs becomes a nightmarish odyssey in this story by the author of Beasts of No Nation.

He’s a well-traveled consultant arriving home at a metropolitan airport. He’s also become accustomed to extra scrutiny for his brown skin and many-stamped passport. But when he’s whisked away, isolated, and chained in a stark white room without explanation, his reality crumbles. Because what he doesn’t know is the most damning evidence against him.

Anonymous is part of Disorder, a collection of six short stories of living nightmares, chilling visions, and uncanny imagination that explore a world losing its balance in terrifying ways. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single disorienting sitting.

startling story

shocking story that was very well told. Amazing that people have to go through things like this...

My Country is Now a Kafkaesque Nightmare

A man detained for no good reason. His life completely disrupted, because my government is paranoid.

This was uncomfortable to hear. It was supposed to be uncomfortable to hear.

Immigrant story

It really just describes the reality of immigrants traveling-not really a fictional story that I was looking for

WOW!

Fantastic
This is masterful written, produced and performed. Very gripping, I saw every step of this unfortunate journey. It’s sad that it is so true for many today.

Powerful look into today’s immigrant experience

I love that the author chose to write this story in second person because it places the reader/listener into the shoes of the protagonist. Given this topic, I think that choice is powerful for creating empathy. I also enjoyed the narration.
