5.0 out of 5 stars At times radical, funny full of jibes at neocolonialism, 9 May 2001
By kasinje@yahoo.com (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
Ngugi yet again continues with his theme of the mirage of neocolonialism on african societies. He leaves no stone unturned in his quest. Ngugi is one of those people who simply refuse to shut up and will continue to shout: injustice, unfairness, oppression...This is simply another classic from one of the respected sons of africa in the field of literary works.
