Kenya's international literary giant Ngugi wa Thiong'o on social media, his works

Author Ngugi wa Thiong'o. [Beverlyne Musili, Standard]

The best gift that I have received in recent years has come from digital publishing.

Last year, the indefatigable team of writers and translators at Jalada, an online collective have had my Gikuyu fable, Itiuka Ria Murungaru (The Upright Revolution), translated into 100 languages, making the short story one of the most translated pieces in the world.
