Going Down River Road

Ben is a man on the move – in bars, in night clubs and in seedy pubs down Nairobi’s River Road, where he meets Wini, a single mother trying to make it in the big city. They live together as man and wife until Wini escapes abroad with her employer leaving him the burden of bringing up her baby son. When Ben joins up with Ocholla, his bar-crawling, construction-site friend, life goes from strange to bizarre. Mwangi’s treatment of the serious situation makes and unforgettable impact. MEJA MWANGI, the acclaimed author of “Going Down River Road”, "The Cockroach Dance" and “Kill Me Quick”, is an eclectic writer whose fascination with stories has created such varied works as “Bush Doctor”, “Crossroads”, “Carcase for Hounds”, “Rafiki” and “Christmas Without Tusker” among others.
