Paperback / softback. New. After an exhausting day of hard labour, Ben finds oblivion in the seedy bars and clubs of River Road – anything to leave his cockroach-infested rooms and ignore the reality of living paycheck to paycheck. At times, it's difficult to remember that it wasn't always this way. Somehow, he went from a promising career as a soldier to a disgraceful dismissal and a steady decline into poverty. Now the only thing Ben has left to lose is hope. Writing with colourful realism, Meja Mwangi paints an unforgettable depiction of life in Nairobi's slums – drawing attention to the hardships of the working poor and their disillusion with uncaring politicians. '[Mwangi is] among the leading Kenyan writers.' <i><b>New York Times</b></i> 'Riveting.' <i><b>Guardian</b></i> 'The finest African novel ever.' <b>Professor Ibrahim Bello Kano</b>
