Iriburiro
“Umuhigi w’Inkuba ni inkuru iryoshye
yanditswe na Jimmy Tuyiringire. Iyi nkuru urayisoma ikagusubiza mu Rwanda rwo
hambere, ukumva utangiye gusobanukirwa n’uburyo ibintu byagendaga. Ni inkuru
wumva ko ikomoka mu mwimererw ba gakondo by’umuco wacu koko. Kuyihuza
n’igihangano cya Souls igakorwamo igitabo, by’akarusho igashyirwa no mu majwi,
ibi biyiha undi mwimerere n’ubwiza budasanzwe tutabonaga mu bihangano gakondo.
By’umwihariko nakunze cyane uko Jimmy Tuyiringire ahuza uko abanyarwanda
bashobora kuba barafataga inkuba n’uburyo abera bavuga vampaya. Iyi nkuru nyisoma bwa mbere yanteye amatsiko menshi,
intera kwibaza ibyaba biyirimo bihimbano n’ibyaba bikomoka ku nkuru mpamo
cyangwa amateka. Nishimiye kubonera bimwe mu bisubizao by’ibibazo nibazaga ku
kiganiro giherekeza iki gitabo yanditsemo. None ikirenzeho, iyi nkuru iri mu
Kinyarwanda no mu Cyongereza. Ni iby’agahebuzo kuko uburyohe bwayo buzagera ku
bantu benshi kurushaho, bitewe n’ururimi bisangamo. Niba utangiye kuyisoma mu
gitabo cyangwa kuyumva mu majwi, sinshidikanya ko uza kuruhuka uyigejeje ku
musozo!” – Emma-Claudine

Introduction/Review
“JimmyTuyiringire’s beautifully written The Thunder Hunter is a story that takes you back to ancient Rwanda. It is powerful because it feels like it has originated from Rwandan culture and makes you understand how things used to be. Paired with Souls’ artwork, and packaged in print and audio, it then takes Rwandan history or legend into a new form for a contemporary moment. I particularly loved the way Jimmy Tuyiringire makes an explicit comparison between how Rwandans used to perceive the thunder and western vampire narratives. When I first read this short story I immediately wanted to know more about where the story came from, how much was imagination and how much originated from a known history or legend. I was happy then to find the answers of some of these questions in the podcast that accompanies this beautiful print book. In addition, while the story was written in Kinyarwanda it is published here in both English and Kinyarwanda and can reach more people that way. If you are about to read the book or to listen to the podcast, I have no doubt that you won’t stop until you reach the end!” – Emma-Claudine Ntirenganya, Journalist and Communications Expert
