“Weep not Child…”Celebrated author Ngugi wa Thiong’o has died
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Kenya’s literary lion, has passed on at 87. His daughter, Wanjiku, shared his final wish
He once wrote a novel on toilet paper, imprisoned not for violence, but for words.
He traded English for Gikuyu, not to escape, but to reclaim.
He told stories of a people interrupted but never broken.
Today, that voice has gone quiet.
