Beskrivning

Nairobi Noir brings together some of Kenya’s most exciting and acclaimed writers in a bold exploration of the city’s shadowy underbelly. Set across Nairobi’s streets, neighbourhoods and hidden corners, these stories reveal a world where danger and desire sit side by side, and where survival often comes at a cost.From sharp, intimate portraits to gripping tales of crime and consequence, this collection captures the many faces of a city in constant motion. As Peter Kimani writes in his introduction, in this concrete jungle “the hunters and herders live on. As do the hunted…”Featuring new work from Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Stanley Gazemba, Ngumi Kibera, Peter Kimani, Winfred Kiunga, Kinyanjui Kombani, Caroline Mose, Kevin Mwachiro, Wanjiku wa Ngũgĩ, Faith Oneya, Makena Onjerika, Troy Onyango, J.E. Sibi-Okumu and Rasna Warah, Nairobi Noir is a vivid, unsettling and unforgettable portrait of a city.
