Caine Prize winner Binyavanga Wainaina took the literary world by storm with his groundbreaking memoir One Day I Will Write About This Place, a New York Times Notable Book and a Publishers Weekly Top Ten Book of the Year. From his middle-class Kenyan childhood to the writing prize that finally enabled him to write full-time, Wainaina offers a stunning portrayal of his family, tribe, and country—and of the shifting political scene that so influenced all of his experiences.

Listening to this book still has the same powerful effect it had when I first read it. I can hear and feel your voice coming through Swes… lovely to read your reflections of some shared memories…beautiful memoir from a beautiful soul. You are missed and loved always.

Any additional comments?

This audio book is skipping the last few lines of every chapter to abruptly begin the following chapter. Luckily I also have the kindle version, so it is not driving me too crazy.
