shallow, predictable and very boring

Maybe I should have put my sunglasses on while reading this article. The writer does not mince words. The light stares in my face. What is wrong with young Kenyan writers? 

Read the mind of one of Kenya’s publishers, the name of the man is John Mwazemba. Like in everything, one has to grow. The best example is Chimamanda Adichie who has grown from her first novel, Purple Hibiscus. Her characters then were shallower and they grew in Half of a Yellow Sun and arguably became more complex, subtle and with more depth in Americanah. PHOTO | FILE

I enjoy reading about Africa. New books. Old books. By African writers. By non-African writers. Novel. History. Travel. Biographies. Autobiographies. Politics. Colonialism. Poetry.
