Über dieses Buch

Kwani? is arguably Africa's most exciting and varied literary initiative of recent years. Describing itself as ?a magazine of ideas, [that] seeks to entertain, provoke and create?, Kwani? commissions and publishes stories, poetry, art and photography ?from all around the African continent and the diaspora'. Rejecting artificial divisions of high and low art and literary snobbery, it is dedicated to the flourishing of literature in Kenya and the of African cultural values. Kwami? 01 is widely available outside Africa for the first time. The volume features the writings of numerous prize-winners. It includes the short story, ?The Weight of Whispers?, by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, which won The Caine Prize for African Writing in 2003. Yvonne Owuor is also a screenplay writer, and Executive Director of the Zanzibar International Film Festival. Other contributions are from Parsilelo Kantai, who was short-listed for the Caine Prize in 2004;drawings from Gaddo, one of East Africa's foremost political cartoonists; photographs from the photo-journalist Marion Kaplan; and interviews with ?ghetto youths? conducted by the editor.
