I tend to believe Taban Mokotiyang Rekenet lo Liyong’s opinion that kenya is a literary desert.
I never found thiong’os writing influential enough compared to other African writings which are much shorter. But he’s earned his place in that domain.

not a surprise. wait when he dies and we will have a full university course dedicated to the man. such is life

But if Thiong’o wins that will be unfair. Kenya has 43 tribes, and Wangari has already won from Mt Kenya. Kwani Kenya ni ya kabila moja pekee, seriously?

Considering maathai a kyuk.had bagged the peace one already.

no body gets erections about tribes out there. they only care about brains and making the world a better place.

Hio tutaachia Maraga wa huko. For now Ngugi is more Kenyan than Kikuyu.

Ngugi has never been a kikuyu. Most of my academic friends, they think kikuyu is an imaginary race - not black not white.
