One of the cornerstones of Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s fame, Devil on the Cross was written in secret, on toilet paper, while Ngugi was in prison. It tells the tragic story of Wariinga, a young woman who moves from a rural Kenyan town to the capital, Nairobi, only to be exploited by her boss & later by a corrupt businessman. As she struggles to survive, Wariinga begins to realize that her problems are only symptoms of a larger societal malaise & that much of the misfortune stems from the Western, capitalist influences on her country. An impassioned cry for a Kenya free of dictatorship & for African writers to work in their own local dialects, Devil on the Cross has had a profound influence on Africa & on post-colonial African literature.

The instant 1 New York Times bestseller. From the reporter who was there at the very beginning comes the revealing inside story of the partnership between Steve Bannon & Donald Trump
- the key to understanding the rise of the alt-right, the fall of Hillary Clinton, & the hidden forces that drove the greatest upset in American political history. Based on dozens of interviews conducted over six years, Green spins the master narrative of the 2016 campaign from its origins in the far fringes of right-wing politics & reality television to its culmination inside Trump`s penthouse on election night. The shocking elevation of Bannon to head Trump`s flagging presidential campaign on August 17, 2016, hit political Washington like a thunderclap & seemed to signal the meltdown of the Republican Party. Bannon was a bomb-throwing pugilist who`d never run a campaign & was despised by Democrats & Republicans alike. Yet Bannon`s hard-edged ethno-nationalism & his elaborate, years-long plot to destroy Hillary Clinton paved the way for Trump`s unlikely victory. Trump became the avatar of a dark but powerful worldview that dominated the airwaves & spoke to voters whom others couldn`t see. Trump`s campaign was the final phase of a populist insurgency that had been building up in America for years, & Bannon, its inscrutable mastermind, believed it was the culmination of a hard-right global uprising that would change the world. Any study of Trump`s rise to the presidency is unavoidably a study of Bannon. Devil`s Bargain is a tour-de-force telling of the remarkable confluence of circumstances that decided the election, many of them orchestrated by Bannon & his allies, who really did plot a vast, right-wing conspiracy to stop Clinton. To understand Trump`s extraordinary rise & Clinton`s fall, you have to weave Trump`s story together with Bannon`s, or else it doesn`t make sense.

Because it`s hard to underst&, if you`re not from the valley, how this place is in your blood. That`s why I came back, with Kat, & not just because the Gaffer was dead.
