“Binyavanga Wainaina. (1971 – 2019)
“So kind, so generous, so humorous, so brilliant, so brave, so
talented, so knowledgeable, so wonderfully curious, so original.
“I am struggling. To use the past tense. To stop crying.
“My beloved ‘Canga.’ There is nobody else remotely like you. Nobody.
“With you, I felt so known, so understood. And there is no gift, in a
friendship, more precious than this.
“I love you. Always. Rest well.
“Chimamanda”
