Kenya: One Day I Will Write About This Place by Binyavanga Wainaina
Thoughts: It’s odd that the book is put forward, as above, as avoiding stereotype and cliché, because I read it thinking that this was just like so many other East African memoirs I’d read except for the language. The story is the same but the language makes up for the similarities between it and other stories. If it weren’t for the language, I’d say this book would fade away.
Rating: 4/5
