Dr Tom Odhiambo loves to read. He teaches literature at the University of Nairobi, so some may say it comes with the job. But he has spent his entire life reading literature. He has a finger on the pulse of every novel coming out of East Africa and what you should be reading now.
“Literature can never be prescriptive,” he says. “Literature may be descriptive, but literature’s job is to provoke you to think a little bit more about every subject.”
