The two best things about African literature are its relatability and relevant setting. African authors understand better how to tell our African stories even as they promote social consciousness and awareness of politics, social and economic spheres.
Let us find out, shall we?
As the leading African literature bookstore in Kenya, Halfpriced Books appreciates the need to make our stores known to us. African authors work daily to explain life's mysteries, tragedies, ironies, and paradoxes in a language we identify with.
As such, we can only become an avenue through which our readers access these books and experience African literature from relatable perspectives. Even as Halfpriced Books promotes reading culture in Kenya and beyond, stocking African literature by our authors helps people come face-to-face with the truth of our great continent.
Halfpriced Books boasts the most comprehensive collection of books from world-acclaimed authors across the continent. We are the go-to African literature bookstore in Kenya, especially with famous titles by Nigeria's Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Kenya's Margret Ogola, Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o, South Africa's Nadine Gordimer and more.
We have great and talented writers, and the most critical questions for bibliophiles and non-readers should be: if we do not read our writers, who will read them? Halfpriced Books continues to stock books by African authors and promote their works in the country and beyond borders.
As an African literature bookstore in Kenya, Halfpriced Books encourages upcoming African authors to keep producing more books. People are embracing African literature rapidly, assuring young writers of a good market for their works. With Halfpriced Books as the leading African literature bookstore in Kenya, writers can rest assured of a broader reach to the targeted audience even as our stories become known worldwide.
Halfpriced Books understands that African tales are delightful, and we want to have as many African books and authors on our shelves as possible. We ensure you get the best African literature from us, whether fiction or otherwise. We commit to promoting the new and the old generation of writers because that makes us Kenya's leading African literature bookstore.
