Minutes of glory by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

4.0

Minutes of Glory by Ngugi Wa Thiong’o was a collection short stories, spanning many decades until today. While the writing style and storylines varied wildly over time, there were a few things that stayed the same. I loved that he so consistently called out colonialism, and uncritical religious dogma and morality, and capitalism - that all worked for me. I was however, less enamoured of how abruptly every story ended, you’d just be going along with the build up, and bam! end of story. Overall I enjoyed the collection though, and I loved that it was a retrospective of a lifetime of writing. I’m for sure going to pick up one of his novels. Who’s read him? That’s @netgalley for the ARC -!opinions are my own.
