Binafsi nilivisoma vitabu zaidi ya 50 vya African Writers Series nikianzia na HOUSE BOY by Ferdinand Ayono alichokinunua rafiki yangu Laban Kauga (marehemu) miaka ya sitini kule Mbeya na kufungua mlango wa kusaka kila kipya kilipotokea.
Vitabu kama Things Fall Apart; No Longer At Ease; One Man One Matchet; The Only Son; Obi; A Wreath for the Maidens; A Bridge for the Wedding;A Dancer of Fortune; Mission to Kala; The Concubine; The Great Ponds; A Few Days and Nights; The Edifice; Girls at War; Sun Set in Biafra; Chief, The Honourable Minister; Kinsman and Foreman etc etc etc vilikuwa na mvuto wa kipekee na kueleweka zaidi na sisi tuliozaliwa na kukulia vijijini na kusoma enzi za harakati za nchi za kiafrika kudai Uhuru na kufanya kazi mwanzoni mwa Uhuru.
Kitabu kama "The Concubine" ambacho tangu neno la kwanza hadi la mwisho kilitawaliwa na desturi za kiasili na mila za eneo bila kuingiza hata neno moja la kigeni kilinivutia sana mimi niliyezaliwa kijiji cha ndani kabisa km 33 toka makao makuu ya wilaya yangu ambako gari ndogo ya kwanza kuiona ni ya Askofu aliyekuja kutoa Kipa-Imara. Huko hakukuwa na duka hata moja la mhindi au mwarabu.
Huwa narudia kuvisoma vitabu hivyo kufifurahisha.
Asante sanaMkuu, naomba nikusahihishe kidogo tu. Ni kwamba mwandishi wa The Great Ponds hakuwa Chinua Achebe bali ni Elechi Amadi. Na mwandishi wa The River Between hakuwa Chinua Achebe Bali ni Mkenya Ngugi wa Thiong'o.
Hata hivyo nakupongeza kwa kumbukumbu nzuri sana mkuu.
