Petals Of Blood

I tried to get into this book, chosen as the subject of the monthly reading group at the Museum of Contemporary Art. I have tried and I'll try again but its didactic, heavy-handedness really gets in the way of telling a story.

That seems rather churlish as a judgement on the writing of a man (Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o) who spent time in an Kenyan jail for what he wrote.
