The vile mother who drove that girl to the grave

They first came out in 2001.  They were well received, and then forgotten.  Orner's Namibian novel, The Second Coming Of Mavala Shikongo (2006) was well received (Mmegi, 27 October 2006).  His second novel, Love And Shame And Love (2011) came five years later and was illustrated by his comic-artist brother, Eric Orner. 

Peter Orner has also edited two works of non-fiction that have been well received: Underground America (2008) and with co-editor Annie Holmes, Hope Deferred: Narratives Of Zimbabwean Lives (2010). Now Peter Orner has released his second collection of short stories, Last Car Over The Sagamore Bridge (2013).
