On the last Saturday of November, 2007, a controversial poetry anthology What If I am a Literary Gangster? Was launched at the Goethe Institute.

Its writer, Tony Mochama, has since gone on to publish other books, prose titles as Princess Adhis (2011), ‘The Road to Eldoret’ ( 2009), Meet the Omtitas ( 2013) and his latest, a book of nocturnal essays Nairobi – A Night Runner’s Guide.
