Commercial break: Is there a true-to-God biography?

They love it when their stories are told. Sweet stories laced with truths, half-truths, rumours, and even outright lies. The reason for having biographies is simple. Most of us were something in life: a president, a president's wife, a founder of an outlawed sect, a soldier of fortune, a conman, a beggar man thief, a baby.

Many Kenyans, lead politicians, and corporate captains have published their memoirs. From controversial political commentator Miguna Miguna's 2012 stinger, Peeling Back the Mask, to former Kamukunji MP Maina Wanjigi's 2014 bio, Shepherd Boy in Search of Virtue.
