Dear Mama by Kinyanjui Kombani
Growing up as a small, timid child and the youngest in a humble, single-parent family, Kinyanjui Kombani did not believe he was destined for greatness. How he overcame adversity to become a renowned writer, all while building an international career in banking, is a story that begs to be told.
In this collection of deeply personal letters to his beloved, departed mother, written during a pivotal moment in the world, Kombani writes about his life – the wins, the losses, the lessons and the journey from a junior clerk in a branch to the bank’s global offices in Singapore.
In his trademark easy style, he also gives us a behind-the-scenes view of the writing of the books that earned him multiple literary awards.
Fathers of Nations -School Edition
The very best of the world's best have discovered a way to develop Africa: Way Omega. Now Africa's heads of state are at a summit to approve it as their common development strategy. If they do, it promises Africa will start developing immediately. Unknown to the summit are several aggrieved conspirators who are plotting to defeat Way Omega and replace it with a rival strategy: Path Alpha. Their path, they say, is the only way to develop Africa. Should the summit still approve Way Omega, or should it turn around and approve Path Alpha instead? 'Fathers of Nations' is a satire on contemporary African politics.

Heri Subira
Sauti ya Dhiki (Toleo Jipya)
Diwani hii - inayosheheni mashairi kuhusu utamaduni, mapenzi, nasaha, siasa, mambo ya kinyumbani, n.k. - ilitungwa baina ya 1969 na 1972 ambapo mtunzi alikuwa kifungoni baada ya kupatikana na hatia ya kuwachochea watu ili waipindue Serikali ya Kenya kwa kutumia silaha. Kwa hivyo, unapoisoma diwani hii hutaweza kujizuia kuona athari ambayo kifungo huweza kuwa nayo kwa mfungwa.
n
nJambo la maana sana kuhusu diwani hii ni kwamba mtunzi ameweza kuzungumzia mambo ya kisasa, kama alivyofanya katika shairi la 'Usiniuwe!', bila kupotoka na kutafuta mifano ya kigeni. Hili ndilo lililompa Shihabuddin Chiraghdin, mmoja wa wataalamu mashuhuri wa lugha ya Kiswahili, kusema katika utangulizi wake kwamba, ingawa mtunzi ameingiliwa na athari za kigeni kwa ajili ya elimu aliyoipata shuleni, 'hakukubali kuzongwazongwa na athari hizo, hivyo mashairi yake hayana maingilio ya miundo ya kigeni hata chembe, na mawazo yake yote yameambatana na Uswahili na Uafrika kwa jumla'.
n
nKitabu hiki kitawafaa wale wapendao kusoma mashairi ya Kiswahili ya kiwango cha juu, na vilevile wanafunzi wa fasihi ya Kiswahili katika shule za sekondari na vyuo vikuu.
The Trials of Brother Jero: A play by...
Brother Jeroboam is a self-professed man of God who preaches water but drinks wine. He has managed to convince a group of people that he is God's prophet with divine powers to have their dreams fulfilled. Through this, he takes advantage of his faithful who are just too eager to be told what they want to hear. Like many of the 'prophets' we see everywhere today, Brother Jero, as he likes to be called, has managed to keep his followers in a tight grip of spiritual slavery. When Chume, his faithful assistant and heir apparent, discovers the real man behind the mask, Brother Jero won't stop at anything to make sure that he is 'well taken care of'!

A Hole in the Sky by Austin Bukenya
Tajeer and his overseas investor friends, in their search for oil, have reduced Lake Riziki to a mass of black slime and ruined the livelihoods of the many who depended on it. Now Tajeer is mowing down entire forests and choking life-giving streams to clear land for a multi-million shilling project. Things begin to go haywire when he attempts to evict Kibichi and his family from their ancestral land. Kijani, a fiery daughter of the family, will not let this happen without a fight.
n
nWith a veteran's awesome mastery of language and dramatic technique, the author gives a rare poetic fusion of his passionate commitment to his dual subject matter: the environment and the courage of a 'fierce, fearless, fiery fighter for all that is green and fresh and full of life'.
The Burdens by John Ruganda
Wamala, an erstwhile Cabinet Minister of a country in post-independence Africa, was detained for plotting with foreigners to overthrow the government. When released he failed to reconcile himself with the life of abject poverty and nagging family obligations.
n
nAct I poses the problem deceptively as if the argument going on is the familiar one of the neglected wife exploiting sympathy from her two children and using it to fight the husband.
n
nIn Act II, with rapidly increasing tension, both wife and husband bring up their past and end by having their greatest confrontation. The impression at the end of Act II is that this is the last moment of choice for Wamala: to find his feet as a man or to go under finally. Act III reveals the aftermath of his choice.
n
nJohn Ruganda has maintained a keen interest in theatre since his student days at Makerere University College, where he graduated with an honours degree in English Literature.
n
nHe is a lecturer in the Department of Literature at the University of Nairobi. His two full-length plays, Black Mamba and Covenant with Death are published by the East African Publishing House. Study Guide to 'The Burdens' by E. Kitonga is also available.

Kivuli Kinaishi
'Kivuli Kinaishi' ni tamthilia iliyoandikwa kwa kutumia dhana ya Giningi; makazi yaliyo ndani ya vichwa vya watu wa Unguja na Pemba na ambayo yanaogopwa sana na kuhusishwa na vitisho na hadithi kadhaa. Serikali ya Giningi yenye amri moja tu inaongozwa na Bi. Kirembwe akisaidiwa na wazee. Amali kuu ya Giningi imeonyeshwa kuwa ni ukatili na hivyo kanuni kubwa ni kujaribu kuwatoa watu kutoka dunia hii tuijuayo na kuwapeleka katika dunia ya siri, Giningi. Mwandishi amefaulu sana kutumia U-giningi katika kuchora picha fulani tata inayofanana na Giningi. Mhusika Mtolewa anadhihirisha mapambano ya kifikra yanayotokea kati ya wana-Giningi na Bi. Kirembwe na kuonyesha bayana mchezo huu unavyoambatana na ukweli wa maisha, na zaidi jinsi ulivyo mchezo wa wakati.

Mkusanyo huu unatoa changamoto kwa wahakiki wa fasihi kutathmini upya upya maelezo dhana mbalimbali za ushairi.
