Reading Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's The Wizard of the Crow; absolutely wild parallels to current events here, on the daily. Despotism as the ultimate theater of the absurd: all of these petty men running around to shiv each other and cover their own asses, twisting language and logic and meaning up in absolute knots because what are words but a means to power?

You know the kind of books that try to say something profound about "the human condition"? Maybe Wizard of the Crow is the one that actually manages to do so... :D
