Books
There is a substantial volume of reading matter on Kenya, though much of the European output has been fairly lightweight and the more scholarly works tend to be indigestible. You might want to subscribe to The Journal of African Travel Writing , a twice-yearly, 100-page publication ($10 yearly in the US, $14 abroad; PO Box 346, Chapel Hill, NC 27514, USA ) which always contains a wide-ranging selection, from poetry and anecdotes to literary criticism. For pre-departure reading, the growing body of Kenyan literature provides a good foretaste. Some of the following titles may be most easily available in Kenya (for imports in the UK, try the Africa Book Centre, 38 King St, London WC2E 8JT tel 020/7240 6649, fax 7497 0309, africabooks@dial.pipex.com). Publishers are given in brackets after the title, unless the book is out of print (o/p). Very useful are the internet bookstores, such as , , which will try to get just about anything, and are cheap and convenient if you know exactly what you want. You can also buy Kenyan books on line from Nairobi's Legacy Bookshop at . Although a number of authors have written in the older languages of Kenya, English still predominates as the medium for artistic expression, a situation which creates dilemmas for writers struggling both to reach a readership at home and to find viable channels for publication. Most Kenyan fiction is more cheaply available in Kenya than abroad. Titles marked * are particularly recommended
