When Will I Be Seven Years Old

In "When Will I Be Seven Years Old", a child's simple question-When will I grow?-becomes a profound metaphor for life itself. The story moves through infancy, childhood, and into the world of work, where the refrain of patience, relax echoes again and again. But patience here is not a virtue. It is a cage. The book explores how society often delays us with empty words, and how the journey to seven years old becomes the universal struggle to claim agency over time, growth, and destiny. Through lyrical prose and layered paradox, Kalebe Kossi Numedo confronts the tension between waiting and becoming, leaving us with a haunting question: in the dance of life, who truly embodies patience-the year that passes, or the human being longing to catch it?"
