		<description><![CDATA[Real Life Events Inspire Fiction: Richard Crompton &#38; Kinyanjui Kombani at Storymoja Mini Fest Written by Nkatha Obungu “Good fiction doesn’t claim to mirror reality at all. It indicts reality by providing a paradigm of shape and order and justice—the way we all know things should be—without suggesting that’s how things really are. Good fiction is the mirage that declares itself a mirage, yet compels us to faith through its beauty. Good fiction is the dream that’s too good to be true, so perfect and symmetrical that it gives itself away every time. But it doesn’t trick you into suspending your disbelief by trying to look anything like reality. Good fiction makes you acutely, painfully aware of your disbelief, and makes you believe anyway. And when it’s done well—when it’s done right—good fiction is more real than reality.” &#8211; P.S. BABER There are books you read and get lost in. Books with carefully strung words that burrow underneath your skin and transmogrify your body into a time travelling vessel. There are books that will spin your womb and loins into your ancestry, into people who spoke guttural terrifying tongues and hacked at each other like they fell trees. Books that [&#8230;]]]></description>

BONO AND GELDOF ARE C*NTS is a lighthearted look at foreign aid and who it really aids. This foul-mouthed, funny and frightening parody lecture on charity, Africa and celebrities asks: when did poverty become an industry that needs poverty to stay in business? Jane takes us on a journey through Africa, trying to find out why being decent attracts wankers. 1 hour 15 minutes with drinks interval.

		<description><![CDATA[Sitawa Namwalie&#8217;s new show is as provocative as her earlier work &#8216;Cut Off My Tongue&#8216;, which toured Kenya, Uganda and the UK to great acclaim. Silence is a Woman chronicles the journey of a woman, and the journey of Kenya as they both move through history, telling, retelling and experiencing narratives that continue to haunt this nation. By asking awkward questions, Silence is a Woman reminds us we are on a quest to heal ourselves and reclaim our her stories. Join us on the evening of 25th October 2013 at The Michael Joseph Centre, Safaricom House as we embark with Sitawa Namwalie on this journey. Tickets: 2000/= (50% contribution to startalibrary.org)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s StoryMoja Hay Festival boasted a fantastic line-up of renowned African authors and poets. The festival was tragically cut short by the attacks on Westgate. Thankfully, there were several days of inspiring lectures and readings. One writer, Teju Cole, perhaps had the most hype surrounding him. Cole, a Nigerian-American writer and photographer, is a critical darling whose words and opinions seem to be resonating with thousands of people. One of his essays, The White Saviour Industrial Complex, which discussed the problematic nature of KONY 2012 and other &#8220;white savior&#8221; projects in Africa, went viral and put Cole on the international map.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;There is no freedom, only degrees of tyranny&#8221; award winning American poet and Opthamoligist Dr Neal Hall&#8217;s statement to an audience seated in a miniature amphitheatre at the Nairobi National Museum cripples any reasoning behind carving out a day and calling it a time to celebrate independence. Why celebrate something that in reality may not exist? Hall joined a panel of two other poets British based Somali poet Warsan Shire and South African Mongane Wally Serote at the StoryMoja Hay festival to &#8220;voice the unspoken&#8221; among them; freedom, oppression and racial identity.
