TV talk show host Jeff Koinange will tomorrow launch his autobiography, Through My African Eyes, on the same day that award-winning novelist Marjorie Oludhe-Macgoye will be launching her latest novel, Rebmann.
Mr Koinange, a former CNN journalist currently hosting the Jeff Koinange Live show on KTN, will be launching his book at the Michael Joseph Centre in Nairobi. The autobiography, published by Footprints Press, will retail at Sh3,000 for the hard copy while the soft copy will be sold for Sh2,500.
Macgoye will launch her book at the All Saints Cathedral from 2pm.
The UK-born author, who won the Jomo Kenyatta Literary Prize in 2007 for her book, A Farm Called Kishinev, is best known for her novel, Coming to Birth, which won the Sinclair Prize for Fiction in London in 1986. Her latest historical novel, published by New Academia Publishing, is based on the life of the German missionary, Johannes Rebmann, who laid for the foundation for the Anglican Church in Kenya, hence the launch at the All Saints Cathedral.
The launch of the two books come only three days after Longhorn Kenya launched the biography of Dr Gikonyo Kiano, who served as a Cabinet minister in both presidents Jomo Kenyatta’s and Daniel arap Moi’s governments. The book, Quest for Liberty, was co-authored by his widow, Ms Jane Kiano and Mr Irungu Thatiah. During the Friday night launch at the Serena Hotel in Nairobi, Ms Kiano said a foundation will be set up to ensure that proceeds from the book are used to support needy children. The biography retails at Sh2,000.
