		Meja Mwangi kam 1948 in Kenia zur Welt.
		Der Schriftsteller Meja Mwangi aus Kenia ist bereits mit zahlreichen Büchern auf dem deutschen Literaturmarkt vertreten und hat neben einem Adolf-Grimme-Preis auch den Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis schon einmal erhalten.
		Der sich dramatisch steigernde Handlungsverlauf, für den Mwangi auch eine geradezu biblische Szene entwirft, die an Issaks Opferung durch Abraham erinnert, mündet in ein fürwahr furioses Finale.

	The Mumpsimus: Going Down River Road by Meja Mwangi
		I do not have the knowledge or background to judge how accurate Kurtz's perception of the novel's importance is, but it was recommended to me strongly enough that it become the object of a quest I and some friends went on when we were in Nairobi.
		He is not an appealing character, and yet Mwangi writes about him in such a way that we can feel some sympathy, and so we care about his fate.
		Mwangi avoids both cliche and sentimentality by making Ben such a difficult character to like, and yet there is enough to like -- an intelligence that gets fiercely beaten down but won't disappear completely -- that the book doesn't slide into frigid cynicism.

	Mwangi, Meja - Profiles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Mwangi's approach to the subject is marked by an emphasis on the actual military story.
		The outcome of the story suggests that people are capable of suddenly realizing and rising above some of their major weaknesses, but it is an ambiguous hope, since the general level of inadequacy of life remains unchanged.
		If this novel is an indication of a new direction in Mwangi's writing, then the distinctness of its outlines and the forcefulness typical of the style of this writer are yet to be achieved.

		Writing in Kariuki's voice, Mwangi remains true to a child's viewpoint, which includes only a glimmer of understanding about the history and larger issues.
		But Mwangi focuses solidly on the boys' experiences, and many readers will easily connect with the friendship, the exhilarating freedom of exploring nature, and the boys' bewilderment at the adult world.
		This is a riveting tale that introduces the landscape, history, and culture of colonial Kenya.-Mary N. Oluonye, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

		Notable contributors to the wealth of popular literature since independence include Charles Mangua, Grace Ogot, David Maillu, Pat Wambui Ngurukie, Meja Mwangi, Henry ole Kulet and Rebeka Njau.
		Meja Mwangi’s Kill Me Quick (1973), a story of urban struggle to survive, has been picked up and developed further by Nigerian novelist Ike Oguine, whose A Squatter’s Tale (2000) follows the story of Meja Mwangi’s character Maina to the USA where he is working as a watchman.
		Leonard Kibera’s Voices in the Dark (1970) and Rebeka Njau’s Ripples in the Pool are quite experimental but it is the 1980s that saw a development of a new mode of coding that went beyond realist representation.
