In the heart of Grey Street in Central Durban stands a dilapidated old building called AK Mansions. Since 1902 when the first batch of tenants moved in, and up to today, the building exudes a communal atmosphere. Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, the tenants of AK Mansions are never short of excitement, drama or pain. Everyone knows every body and their stories. These are their stories. .. a collection of 11 different short stories, all taking place, at different times, in Flat 9. This book has been added to the Grey Street Literary Trail in Durban by the University of KwaZulu-Natal who have organized the Literary Tourism Project.
