Overview
The international outcry over the detention of Ngugi without a trial by the Kenyan authorities even reached him in the prison. With great accomplishment he describes the purposeful degradation and humiliation. He builds up vivid portraits of his fellow political prisoners. An artfully integrated series of reflections enable him to reflect on his writing, the nature of imprisonment, and the way forward for the people of Kenya. There are moments of tension and drama, as when a warden discovers the almost completed manuscript of his new novel.Book Details
