Chip off the old block

This, is quite African, truly African and in the spirit and sense of the Africa some of us have been dreaming about for decades now.

I would be even much happier if the young-sounding writer is a son of our well-known Ngugi - because this would mean that there is certainty of continuity of that good fight the older Ngugi has been engaged in for these many seasons.

It would mean a lot to those of us who have been keen followers of the older Ngugi, who have continued to be inpsired by him even though we may not really have met him in person(though I had the rare opportunity of meeting with him in my undergraduate days at the University of Calabar in the early 1980s). This, then, would be a happy chip of the old block - not sure I got the idiom right, though.

Finally, I would love to be in touch with some or all of the journals/magazines mentioned in the article. As one who also writes, I buy and identify wholly with the position of this article. Best wishes - that's also the comment the older Ngugi made on my copy of Weep not, Child in that 1981 or 1982, as he autographed the copy for me. Again, best wishes.
