Africa: Is East Africa a literary desert?
Written byNdesanjo Macha
Are there writers in East Africa?: “For many years we were made to believe that East Africa was a literary desert. Taban lo Liyong said it and regional publishers vindicated him. And they kept him vindicated for many years but we all knew it was an excuse to invest solely on text books.”

I met several when I was in Nairobi. I didn’t actually poke them to check or anything, but they seemed real enough to me. Kwani? are good people.
