The Forbidden Fruit
Devolution of governance and management of public services came as a blessing to many at the grassroots. It generated hope and raised expectations for the many that wallowed in poverty for years on end. With twists and turns, Tumbocracy etches out Democracy and, inevitably, things take the wrong-turn! Is doom the ultimate destination for the many a citizen at the grassroots? Forbidden Fruit is a fast-paced drama that raises important questions about the legitimacy of the many flagship initiatives of devolved units!
What Others Say
“The play captures happenings in devolved units in Kenya. Poor governance, mass corruption, and leaders’ amassing of wealth for themselves, is evident. The playwright creates the content anew and makes it sensitive to the society again as these issues have been taken as obvious and normal.” – Rose Keya Kong’ani, Editor
Till I’m Laid to Rest
In this compelling novel, Till I'm Laid To Rest by Garfield Ellis' , we meet Shirley Temple Brown a young woman who has survived some of the hardest social and political times Jamaica has seen. But now she is finally tired of just surviving, she wants to thrive and she knows she must leave Jamaica in order to do so.
She makes the decision to leave Jamaica for a new start in Miami, USA. Not long after arriving in the city, she begins to see what the glare of the sun and the bright lights have kept hidden: elderly American retirees living out their last days in the warmth and comfort their youth never afforded them, while being cared for by complete strangers; drug dealers hungry for their slice of the American dream, sexual predators, con artists and murderers.
Alone in a place where standing still is sure death sentence, Shirley is determined to succeed or be laid to rest!
Rotten Apples by Oumah Otienoh
In a city where information flow and opinion is controlled by a few, nascent and talented writers are struggling to find their place among the crafty elite. The battle lines are clearly drawn between who is a better writer and who has the wherewithal to publish their work.
Drama unfolds within the fourth estate in Nadabi, disclosing hidden skeletons some too dark that ruin the lives of the major characters.
In Rotten Apples, the playwright artistically uses his cruel sharp pen to expose the raw doings and misdoings of the fourth estate and the academia. The writer hopes that none will crush after reading this play and if such an incident may occur, Allah should rest such wicked souls in eternal hellfire.

Unfit for Society by Munira Hussein
From the problems of the girls and women grappling with the challenges of living in a patriarchal culture to the allure of terrorist groups, Munira Hussein writing in the voice of what one of her characters describes as the children of the north brings a unique perspective from a region of Kenya which, despite its rich cultural traditions, is mostly associated in the popular imagination, with all the wrong things; violence, insecurity and underdevelopment.
This compelling collection of stories from a young and upcoming writer shows there is more. Written in the exuberant flair of a poet, it celebrates the resilience of a people striving to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment, the soaring aspirations of the younger generation for a better life and stands as a challenge to society to re-examine its ethos; some of which have clearly been overtaken by time.
Recently shortlisted for the African Writers Award for the short story Powder in the Wind, Ms. Hussein has the grit to curve herself a niche in the literary sphere and Unfit for Society is only but the first word in what promises to be a fruitful writing career.
