Broken Paths and Urban Shadows: A Critical Dive into Going Down the River Road

Join us on August 30th at The Thinking Citadel as we delve into Meja Mwangi’s powerful novel, Going Down the River Road. This session, titled “Broken Paths and Urban Shadows”, will explore the gritty realities of postcolonial Nairobi through the eyes of characters navigating poverty, displacement, masculinity, and broken dreams. We’ll examine the novel’s social, political, and psychological layers, questioning what it means to survive in a city that offers little hope. Whether you’ve read the book or are simply curious, come ready to engage, reflect, and contribute. This isn’t just literary analysis — it’s a space for critical thinking, honest dialogue, and shared insight. Let’s meet where literature meets life. Time: 2000hrs - 2130hrs Venue: online [zoom] RSVP on Meetup.
