"Neix un teixidor de somnis és el despertar d’un escriptor i és l’alliberament d’un poble. Mentre Ngũgĩ se’n va a estudiar a la Universitat de Makerere, Uganda, el seu poble es defensa de l’Imperi britànic. En aquells temps convulsos és quan neix un dels intel·lectuals més importants de la nostra època, formant-se com a periodista, escriptor de contes, dramaturg i novel·lista.
Perseguit pels records i les notícies de la carnisseria i dels encarceraments en massa realitzats per l’estat colonial britànic a la seva Kenya natal, però alhora inspirat en la lluita titànica contra aquestes injustícies, Ngũgĩ comença a teixir històries que recull de les fibres de la memòria, la història i un present vibrant i turbulent. És així com es comença a formar una identitat d’intel·lectual al servei del seu poble.
En aquest text emocionant i provocatiu es despleguen simultàniament el naixement de Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o com a escriptor combatiu, la fi del colonialisme militar en un dels episodis més violents de la història global i l’empoderament dels pobles africans per decidir el seu futur."

Work Description
"Birth of a Dream Weaver charts the very beginnings of a writers creative output. In this wonderful memoir, internationally renowned Kenyan writer and author of the now-classic Wizard and the Crow, Ngugi wa Thiong'o recounts the four years he spent in Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda--threshold years where he found his voice as a playwright, journalist, and novelist, just as Uganda, Kenya, Congo, and other countries were in the final throes of their independence struggles,"--NoveList.
