Mũkoma wa Ngũgĩ recommends
In the Company of Men (2021)
Véronique Tadjo
"I kept talking to my Kenyan father, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, about In the Company of Men as I read it because it resonates so deeply with our own familial history. His father left a pandemic in his village in the late 1800s and was cautioned never to talk about it, so we have no history beyond my great-grandfather. Tadjo, writing so urgently and beautifully about Ebola two centuries later at a time of Covid-19, is our witness."
