Quick Overview

Obama comes to Kenya!

The American president's historic visit to Nairobi is the electric backdrop to the story of a pastor, who plunges into the slums to rescue the woman he loves from the clutches of a Somali drug lord.

But how deep can the pastor go, without destroying his faith, and himself?

Truth is a Flightless Bird, is a brutal love letter to the frontier town that is present-day Nairobi: a studied observation of the the failure of bare-knuckled capitalism, the inequality machines our cities have become, and - ultimately - the profoundly irrational human capacity to hope, to risk everything in order to have something in which to believe.

With Truth is a Flightless Bird, Hussain establishes a remarkable voice, one truly his own.
