[A] Kenyan writer and LGBT activist who made a revolutionary impact on literature from and about the African continent

Barbed, playful, inventive . . . African literature would never be the same . . . An outsize figure on the literary landscape, his omnivorous brilliance matched by ambition and vision on a continental scale

A collection of brilliant writing - essays, stories, journalism, and even recipes. I admire Wainaina's humour, flamboyance and intelligence and the way he skewers the usual stereotypes about Africa

[An] award-winning Kenyan writer whose humorous, incisive books and essays explored themes of post-colonialism, gender and sexual identity . . . with wit and humour he took apart the paternalism of certain writers who talk of Africa as one country

He was an intellectual . . . Someone who could have become the Edward Said of Africa or the James Baldwin of our time

An uncompromising commentator . . . [Binyavanga Wainaina] shines a light on his continent without cliché

[A] barrier-shattering presence in African literature

Unflagging in his generosity, unflinching and direct in his criticism, [Binyavanga] produced work in his short life that will have impact longer lasting than those whose time here is twice as long

A trail-blazing Kenyan legend

Hilarious, worldly, biting, flippant, and meaningful

[A] Kenyan literary icon . . . [Binyavanga Wainaina's] work continues to challenge stereotypes and prejudices about Africa

[Binyavanga Wainaina's] writing dances beyond the borders of language, lineage, genre, containment . . . [His] imagination hops, skips and jumps, in that space of infinite possibilities and worlds waiting to be made and unmade

Everything that made Binyavanga so great was there on the page - his righteous passion, his biting wit, his eye for hypocrisy, his arch turn of phrase

Cutting and incisive, witty and confrontational, and deeply revealing

Wainaina's sharp wit and penetrating analysis . . . shows off his talent for withering satire

Both an ode and an introduction to one of the continent's most inimitable literary geniuses

Provocative . . . A lively selection of work that well represents the scope of this fine author
