| 520 | |a "Birth of a Dream Weaver charts the very beginnings of a writers creative output. In this wonderful memoir, internationally renowned Kenyan writer and author of the now-classic Wizard and the Crow, Ngugi wa Thiong'o recounts the four years he spent in Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda--threshold years where he found his voice as a playwright, journalist, and novelist, just as Uganda, Kenya, Congo, and other countries were in the final throes of their independence struggles,"--NoveList. | ||
