Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o THE RIVER BETWEEN Introduction by Uzodinma Iweala The 50th-anniversary edition of a legendary work of African literature, this moving and eye-opening novel lucidly captures the drama of a people and culture whose world has been overturned. During the early days of white settlement in Kenya, the Gikuyu people are faced with a choice between an alluring new religion and their own ancestral customs. “Beautifully com- pact....It takes its reader on a journey out of the colonial matrix and into the world of the real, showing us life reclaimed in all its complexity from the simplifying template of colonialism....It has an undeniable power.” — Uzodinma Iweala, from the Introduction. “Has the rare qualities of restraint, intelligence and sensitivity.” —The Times Literary Supplement. Penguin • 176 pp. • 978-0-14-310749-1 • $15.00

Devil on the Cross Introduction by Binyavanga Wainaina Written in secret on toilet paper, while Ngũgĩ was in prison, this powerful fictional critique of capitalism tells the tragic story of Wariinga, a young woman who moves from a rural Kenyan town to the capital, Nairobi, only to be exploited by her boss and later by a corrupt businessman. As she struggles to survive, Wariinga begins to realize that her problems are only symptoms of a larger societal malaise and that much of the misfortune stems from the Western, capitalist influences on her country. An impassioned cry for a Kenya free of dictatorship and for African writers to work in their own local dialects, Devil on the Cross has had a profound influence on Africa and on post-colonial African literature. “One of our century’s great novels.” —Tribune. Penguin Classics • 272 pp. • 978-0-14-310736-1 • $16.00 Available July 2016 See page 8 for other titles by Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o
