Discovering Home by Binyavanga Wainaina
Written by Kwani · March 23, 2008
Author: Binyavanga Wainaina
Series: Kwanini
Awards: Winner of the 2002 Caine Prize for African fiction
Winner of the 2002 Caine Prize for African fiction, Discovering Home tells the Kenyan version of that universal story: returning home and seeing it for the first time. By turns compassionate and bitingly ironic, this Kwanini takes readers on a whirlwind journey from Rift Valley to Maasailand and beyond. Along the way, the social geography underlying family relations, political contacts, the Ndombolo dance and the Sunday sermon are revealed in all their solemn hilarity.
