内容和作者简介
A Grain of Wheat摘要

Originally published in 1967, Ngugi's third novel is his best known and most ambitious work. "A Grain of Wheat" portrays several characters in a village whose intertwined lives are transformed by the 1952-1960 Emergency in Kenya. As the action follows the village's arrangements for Uhuru (independence) Day. This is a novel of stories within stories, a narrative interwoven with myth as well as allusions to real-life leaders of the nationalist struggle, including Jomo Kenyatta. At the centre of it all is the reticent Mugo, the village's chosen hero and a man haunted by a terrible secret. As events unfold, compromises are forced, friendships are betrayed and loves are tested.

作者简介

恩古吉•瓦•提安哥(1938— ),肯尼亚小说家、剧作家、政论家,生于利穆鲁一农民家庭。一九六四年毕业于乌干达马赫雷雷大学,后入英国利兹大学续修文学。一九六七年回国,在内罗毕大学任教,改英国文学系为非洲文学和语言系。一九七七年因抗议当局对英语的强制性教育而被政府逮捕,获释后与家人过着流亡的生活,直到肯尼亚独裁者阿拉普•莫伊下台才终于得以安全回国。

由于政治和健康的原因,最近十五年恩古吉和阿契贝一样旅居美国,在纽约州的大学工作。但他们一再声称决不去写与美国有关的作品,其原因部分如阿契贝所言:美国的作家太多,非洲的作家太少;恩古吉更坚持认为,文学应该反哺滋养它的土地和人民。
