Discover the world of unmet expectations, alcoholism, cheap sex and a hand-to-mouth existence for Kenya’s lowly-paid government workers.
Jonathan Kinama, a low-level Kenya government employee, finds himself deeply entangled in the lifestyle of licentiousness and drunkenness that entraps many city residents. In Unfit for Human Consumption, we encounter David Maillu at his best; this is a story of the debauchery that everyone condemns but many are all too happy to do in the dark, the reckless living that leads men to abandon their rural families, and the brawls and risks that characterise life in downtown Nairobi and its eastern suburbs.
