John Updike recommends
Dreams in a Time of War (2010)
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
"In his crowded career and his eventful life, Ngũgĩ has enacted, for all to see, the paradigmatic trials and quandaries of a contemporary African writer caught in sometimes implacable political, social, racial, and linguistic currents."
