Harry Haller is a man who has resigned to fate. Sickly (gout) and suicidal, he doesn’t desire any joy anymore.

Haunted by the pain of gout, divorced from his wife and away from his children; he travels the world and is always far away from the merrymaking of every day.

He contemplates suicide every day. But a chance meeting with a lady, Hermine, in a bar changes the course of his outlook on life. https://ekoroi.com/book-review-steppenwolf-hermann-hesse/

Masculinity: This book, The Wall Speaks, demystifies women https://ekoroi.com/masculinity-this-book-the-wall-speaks-demystifies-women/

Remember the story of Kinjekitile Ngwale of Tanzania. A medicine man who prayed over some water and told his warriors that they’d defeat the British in war. He ended up being defeated.

However, in this book, there’s one that happened likewise but the guns actually refused to work due to African medicine; or was it bad luck and 'block up?'. https://ekoroi.com/book-review-a-history-of-the-luo-abasuba-of-western-kenya-from-ad-1760-1940-by-henry-okello-ayot/

This coffee table book captures Nairobi in pictures from 1968 to 2021. One of the interesting things is that the authors, Susan Wakhungu-Githuku & Natalie Githuku, share a story that still captures our minds to date, the assassination of Tom Mboya. Nairobi was like a small village, the authors poetically say, "When something happened, wherever it happened, you knew". https://ekoroi.com/book-review-nairobi-5453-photographic-slices-and-personal-musings-by-susan-wakhungu-githuku-natalie-githuku/

Mageta island on Lake Victoria was a rich place in terms of standard of life and agriculture (dealt mostly in grains) until the arrival of the colonialists.

The downside is that the people of Mageta dealt in slave trade; Prof Ochieng writes that ‘the people of Mageta and Yimbo ambushed and captured slaves whom they sold to the Baganda and Basoga”
