He's certainly stirred up quite a bit of controversy, thus keeping his name around in new posts and discussions... and causing more to buy his book?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102250492155489672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494812361809757392.post-79051125869580183092011-11-22T05:10:16.326-08:002011-11-22T05:10:16.326-08:00What I really hated was that this man should dare ...What I really hated was that this man should dare think he has the right to speak for educated Africans. He does not represent me in any way. You can have strong opinions but why put them across in such a churlish manner. 'We don't care about Oxfam.' What rubbish. What has he done to alleviate suffering in his country? Or any African country. And it's the we. Who made you spoke person? Tomorrow he'll be saying Africa is not one place then the day after he'll be talking as a we. <br /><br /> And all this rubbish about African writers being forced to tell a certain story blah blah blah, it's not only African writers who are having trouble breaking into the traditional publishing world. Go and look at all the writers blogs and you will find that when anyone is fortunate enough to get a publisher, they show gratitude to their publishing house, not because it's the gratitude of an African to the West, but just because people are glad to get published. Publishing is difficult for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494812361809757392.post-48911008054365681222011-11-20T17:05:28.656-08:002011-11-20T17:05:28.656-08:00Interesting.

It is only afterwards I can begin summing up the way this Kenyan writer really thinks.Strong Selfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022151139985515400noreply@blogger.com
