Writers and translators working across various Kenyan languages gathered to make this amazing anthology possible. Given our multilingualism, I look forward to how it redefines reading relative to the directional fluidity we employ in everyday use of language. More soon.

I will remember you today as when I first met you many years ago, dear Prof Ngugi. You’ve been my most consistent friend and mentor. You were, in every way I’ve ever known, the highest expression of humanity. Rest well my dear friend. I am, literally, because you were. I love you
