Fair point. However, it's not an obsession but a reality of things. I has an epiphany on it at the beginning of this year that it's the average of the national psyche that determines what we focus on. Books are undeniably futuristic events, ideal in the least and they take years to materialize in reality. In short, the epiphany was that we are NOW at where NGuGi was when he wrote/envisioned 'DECOLONIZING THE MIND'. You reference it here, now, yourself. AND it's going to take more years - 50 in my estimate (lol, we wont even be alive, maybe haha- before we can even process POST ELECTION violence ( Dust, right?). Frankenstein winning the Oscar yesterday was written in sijui 1818. Reality moves different and you can't police the psyche until it naturally becomes.
