Because the generations that grew up between the 1970s and 1990s had limited access to television, they had only four main sources of entertainment; outdoor games, radio, storytelling by the hearth and reading novels and storybooks depending on their age.
Back then, there were many Kenyan and African writers who kept their readers captivated. Books changed hands routinely, with the more popular titles having longer waiting times. Henry ole Kulet’s Moran no More and To Be a Man were among the most popular novellas for teenagers in my time, competing for attention alongside such thrillers as The Minister’s Daughter, Across the Bridge and A Brief Assignment.
