Different Colours by Nganga Mbugua

KShs1,000.00 KShs700.00
This is a multi-layered story of love set in a society that is wracked by ethnic tensions and mistrust. But it also a metaphor of our time, digging into the big debates of the day: From the use of social media to mobilise for change to the need for social harmony, national healing and justice. Arguably Ng’ang’a Mbugua’s most sophisticated work yet, this story traces the fortunes of Miguel, an artist on the path of self-discovery in a society that is trying to come to terms with the diversity of the identities of its people. Will Miguel find love and acceptance in his country and in the global village? Will he fulfill his potential? Will he make a meaningful social contribution to the society that he has chosen to adopt? Is he an agent bent on upsetting the apple cart by unearthing unpleasant secrets or is he only interested in opening the eyes of a society that has been plagued by ignorance, exploitation and deceit? Different Colours was first published in May 2011 and has been an undergraduate study text at Egerton University, Kenya.

Terrorists of the Aberdare by Nganga ...

KShs800.00 KShs650.00
How far can a man go to win the love of a woman? That is the question at the heart of this novella by Ng’ang’a Mbugua. Presented as a stream of consciousness, the narrative recalls the life and travails of Sonko Wakadosi, a man who is as much a victim of social circumstances as his own follies, both of which conspire to trap him in a vicious and tragic drama. Yet, this is also a story about the consequences of the unchecked conflict between man and wild animals at a time when climate change and environmental degradation have man locked in a losing battle with the forces of nature. Written in a light, humourous and satirical style, the book won the Wahome Mutahi Literary Prize in 2010 and in 2011 was runner up in the Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature, Kenya’s biggest award for fiction. The first edition was published in 2009 and reprinted in 2012. The book has been selected as a study text for a Masters class at the University of Nairobi and undergraduate class at Daystar University, Nairobi.
