DESCRIPTION:Ngugi wa Thiong'o, the world-renowned Kenyan writer, will read and discuss 
 his book Dreams in a Time of War: A Childhood Memoir.\nNgugi Wa Thiong'o is 
 respected and beloved around the world for his path-breaking novels and 
 plays that paint an unsparing picture of life in neo-colonial Kenya. He has 
 broken new ground in bringing the oppressed onto the literary scene, and 
 his outspoken resistance to imperialist culture is also reflected in his 
 innovative theoretical work on post-colonial literature. He has been 
 imprisoned more than once in Kenya for his works. In the late '70s he began 
 writing novels in Gikuyu, his mother tongue. The first of these, Devil on 
 the Cross, was written in prison on toilet paper.\nNgugi now lives in exile 
 in the U.S. Formerly a professor at NYU, he is currently a Distinguished 
 Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of 
 California, Irvine. His books have been translated into more than thirty 
 languages.\n\nFor more on Ngugi, go to http://www.ngugiwathiongo.com/\n
