"A Kenyan Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man . . . suffused by a love affair with language."—Publishers Weekly, Top Ten Books of 2011
In this vivid and compelling memoir, Binyavanga Wainaina tumbles through his middle-class Kenyan childhood out of kilter with the world around him. In One Day I Will Write About This Place, named a 2011 New York Times notable book, Wainaina brilliantly evokes family, tribe, and nationhood in joyous, ecstatic language.
