Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Kenya's most famous man of letters, is dead.
In the coming days, weeks, months and even years, literary discourse in Kenya and around the world will be dominated by the question of how much he contributed to art and impacted the collective lot of humankind.
That he was a hero of artistic activism is an understatement.
He won numerous awards and was at the forefront of our country's artistic representation globally.
