"As an African and a Black person, I feel that I
have a duty to love all the places I call home. Love need not always be pleasant—it can be demanding, defensive, angry
and wrong. But it always wants to build, not destroy."

BLACK STAR NAIROBI
“Ngugi’s ability to weave a complex narrative, which connects crime and racial tensions in the US to an in-depth knowledge of Kenya and its nuances, to Rwanda and its genocide past within this African crime thriller, is nothing but the work of a genius craftsman and wordsmith.” --New African Magazine |
NAIROBI HEAT
"Nairobi Heat takes us to Kenya with a refreshing authority... Besides the usual fun and thrill of crime novels, what makes the book a delicious read is that it’s also packed with engaged and relevant social commentary." --The New York Times |
HURLING
WORDS AT CONSCIOUSNESS “By turns soothingly tender or implacably harsh, Hurling Words at Consciousness is an unflinching meditation on our globalized inequities. It is thoughtful and richly rewarding.” --Tejumola Olaniyan, University of Wisconsin-Madison |
