Über dieses Buch

In Street Life, Simon Oluoch, a Standard Six pupil of promise in Nyakach in Wesy Kenya, loses his legs in a road accident in Nairobi. He is henceforth condemned to a life of penury in a bustling city street, with a flute as his only asset. You'll meet familiar street characters with their varied, often conflicting cares, but with at least one common goal, "trying to live 'decently' on the pavement". Marjorie makes an incisive visit into the minds, lives and times of the desolate of our society in their dire strife for survival in a callous world.
