A friend recently expressed his frustrations over failure to get his work published.
Expecting the usual bashing of publishers, I was pleasantly surprised when he turned his ire on established writers! He argued that the dearth of new books in local literary scene should be blamed on likes of Ngugi wa Thion’go, Meja Mwangi, Majorie Oludhe Macgoye among other authors for failing to endorse emerging works by young writers.
