Description
Ngugi wa Thiong'o's powerful prison memoir begins half an hour before his release in December 1978. A year earlier, he was taken from his home by armed police and sent to Kenya's Kamiti Maximum Security Prison, where he lived alongside other political prisoners under constant surveillance. Despite the humiliation and isolation, Ngugi refused to give in. He decided to write a novel in secret, using toilet paper - it would become his book, Devil on the Cross. In Wrestling with the Devil, Ngugi recounts the drama and challenges of living under 24-hour surveillance, capturing not only the pain caused by his separation from family but also the spirit of defiance that allowed him to survive. Through this unforgettable account, Ngugi shares his experiences as a prisoner, revealing the imaginative endeavours that sustained him during his time behind bars.
