By Kara Bloomgarden-Smoke
Internationally celebrated author, playwright and critic, Kenyan Ngugi wa Thiong'o is photographed by a fan using a mobile phone on June 13, 2015 during a book signing to celebrate the golden jubilee of his first book 'Weep Not Child' in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. A 2014 nominee for the Nobel Prize for literature, Ngugi's 50 year literary career, fraught with dangers, has seen him jailed and therafter forced into exile by successive regimes of the time and his latest visit is seen as a real homecoming after he was received at State House by current President Uhuru Kenyatta who's father, Kenya's powerful first President Jomo Kenyatta jailed Ngugi without trial in 1977 over his critical play Ngaahika Ndeeda, (I will Marry When I Want), before being forced into exile after his release during Kenyatta's successor, President Daniel Arap Moi's rule. "This is not the Kenya of yesterday but a Kenya that needs all your talents. It is time for you to come back and help us build the country," Kenyatta is quoted as saying in the local press.
