This remarkable and symbolic novel centers around Wariinga's
tragedy and uses it to tell a story of contemporary Kenya faced
with the "satan of capitalism." Ngugi has directed his writing even
more firmly towards the commitment that he shows in Writers in
Politics and Detained: A Writer's Prison Diary. The novel was
written secretly in prison on the only available material --
lavatory paper. It was discovered when almost complete but
unexpectedly returned to him on his release. Such was the demand
for the original Gikuyu edition that it reprinted on publication.
