A jarring portrayal of "Christian principles" in Kenya
Ngugi's written a fine work that is brash and original, if not always artful. "Devil on the Cross" tells the story of a country's corruption and the struggle of the subaltern/victims to rise out of the ensnaring cycles of exploitation and greed. Ngugi's title and most impactful moments of the book come from his "twisting" of Christian ideas like the cross and the Parable of the Talents so as to reveal how "noble" principles can be used to grind people's noses into the ground. The Marxist philosophy and style is generally heavy-handed, but the novel pushes its characters through to a surprising ending that is probably the best--if not the only--way to end this type of book. An interesting read, not very long--a jagged slice of Ngugi's view of what Africa is, what it should become, and the price of making that change.
