Ngugi: Reflections on his Life of Writing Edited by Simon Gikandi and Ndirangu Wachanga @NdiranguW_

Okot p'Bitek's Wer pa Lawino gave us the love triangle between westernised Ocol, red-lipped Clementine & Lawino, cultural custodian. Profs Simon Gikandi, Okot Benge & Harry Garuba write about the politics of circulation & translation of p'Bitek's work. #AfricaDay25Books Day 2

This just dropped: quite excited for this special issue “Critical perspectives on contemporary East African literature” edited by Alex Wanjala for Tydskrif vir Letterkunde letterkunde.africa/issue/view/886

In Micere Mugo's anthology you find my first published poem in Gikuyu, my language. Seeing it in print alongside voices I have long admired, Angela Davis, Simon Gikandi, and of course Micere gives me as much imaginative pleasure as anything I have published in English. A taste.
