The Devil's Hill
Dani is gifted in all ways, yet he lives under the shadow of his hero, an old friend and a school dropout. The day he discovers a heap of money and a gun under a trap door in his friends house, he realised his friend was no longer a mere bully but a member of a dangerous gang wanted for various crimes ranging from smuggling diamonds, carjacking to murder. This becomes the beginning of a nightmare that nearly costs Dani his life as well as that of another of his friends, Zack.
Kenya Gazette
The Kenya Gazette is an official publication of the government of the Republic of Kenya.

It is published every week, usually on Friday, with occasional releases of special or supplementary editions within the week.
The Ordeal of the African Writer
Only a small number of African writers - Chinua Achebe, Ben Okri, Nuruddin Farah, Wole Soyinka - have become known outside their own continent. They also face enormous obstacles within Africa to get their work published, let alone to support themselves financially from their writing. Charles Larson combines writers' own testimony, pen portraits of their lives, and factual investigation to explore the dimensions of the problem. Who is the readership in Africa? How do African publishing houses treat their authors? What are the consequences of political repression? And can anything be done to build a more supportive environment for African writers?
The Bulldozer and the Word
This book examines the operating of cultural work in postcolonial Nairobi from the view that it drives modernity, survival and processes of empowerment. It depicts a city of global and spatial aspirations, divided by a past that transcends its present. It is a neo-colonial and acquisitive city; Western cultural institutions dominate the marketplace. An associative aspect is the gendered city space (streets, bars, pubs), which is overwhelmingly masculine. The book demonstrates that women's marginalisation impacts variously on the city's texts, its fiction, theatre, and the iconography of the Matatu vehicle. The major theme of the book is the struggle for cultural recognition and authority. Strategies of social and political accommodation coalesce both creatively and antagonistically in this formulation of Kenyan self-identification.
