Meja Mwangi

Weapon of Hunger Meja Mwangi

Through fiction, the world described in Weapon of Hunger has a definite locale in the African continent held at ransom by multitudes of problems, partly self-inflicted, partly caused by the ravages of nature. In this novel Meja Mwangi brings these problems to world attention in a manner that never declines to apathy yet the skill captivates. Weapon of Hunger is an engrossing piece that takes us to this dehumanised land of want. Mwangi's treatment of the serious situation makes an unforgettable impact.
