The gross stereotyping of all the characters in this tiniest of novels is Tony Mochama's light-hearted way of broaching very real subjects that lie right under the surface of life in Kenya: the drug trade, poverty, grand corruption, greed, violence, rape, exploitation. An unputdownable read that you'll want to tell all your Kenyan friends about because you know they will "get it". Gritty, pacey, hilarious.
