M rogi wa Kagogo (in Kikuyu)
Wa Thiong'o, Ngugi
Synopsis "M rogi wa Kagogo (in Kikuyu)"
This is the original Gĩkũyũ version of Ngugi wa Thiong'o's satirical novel Mũrogi wa Kagogo, published in English as Wizard of the Crow . The novel gives a surgical examination of the cult of dictatorship in Africa. The story is set in the imaginary Free Republic of Aburĩria, and weaved around the Ruler and his coterie of court-poets, all of them the epitome of the dictum that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Then there is Kamĩtĩ, the mystical figure who is the subject of conjecture, and Nyawĩra, the underground revolutionary in the vanguard of agitating for change in Aburiria. In the end, Ngũgĩ manages to vibrate with the magical realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez; the brutal frankness of Dostoyevsky; and the lyrical beauty of African folklore. Yet, the most intriguing question as you read the novel is: Who is the Wizard of the Crow?
