The Town Tricksters
Mwaurah, D. M.
The Town Tricksters is the story of a hard-headed boy who is expelled from school for indiscipline and ostracised by the elders of the village. He takes off to the city where he undergoes several experiences that with compelling inevitability lead to his death. Beneath this simple story is the tensions of modern Africa - her fragmentation into the rural and the urban, the traditional and the modern segments.
