City Boy: Chronicles of a Nairobi Life: An Autobiography by Dr Frank Njenga
By Frank NjengaCity Boy: Chronicles of a Nairobi Life: An Autobiography by Dr Frank Njenga
This autobiography by Dr. Frank Njenga offers a unique perspective that contrasts with typical African autobiographies, which often focus on poverty and hardship. Instead, City Boy recounts a privileged upbringing in an affluent Nairobi neighborhood, including attendance at a formerly European-only school and experiences of foreign travel during childhood.
Dr. Njenga describes the Mau Mau period and post-independence Kenya, providing a candid and charming narrative that reveals the influences shaping his life-books, travel, and a diverse community. The book challenges the common notion that adversity and rural poverty are prerequisites for success, presenting a fresh view of adolescence in the 1960s, personal ambition, and professional achievement.
Dr. Frank Njenga is a renowned Kenyan psychiatrist with over four decades of experience. He has authored numerous scientific publications and books and is the Founder and Chairman of the Chiromo Hospital Group.
