Made in Kenya Absurd Humor Publishing 1.º edición

Travel back to the Kenya of the 1960s and 1970s in this enlightening and touching series of vignettes about an Indian boy growing up in Africa.

Author Feisal Nanji relives his childhood and teenage years in this humorous account of an awkward, skinny, clumsy boy growing up in a tight-knit Indian community. With stories about lobbying his family for a new pair of soccer boots and living through the awkwardness of puberty, Nanji gives readers a glimpse into the culture of Ismaili Muslims and other Indians who are part of a community that migrated to Kenya in the late nineteenth century.

Above all, Made in Kenya is a book about friendship. Bringing to life his friends and adventures in each short tale, Nanji examines how each and every one influenced his own destiny.

With special relevance for people born or living in Kenya, this humorous collection will bring laughs to anyone who wishes to relive the awkward hilarity that comes with growing up.
