In one extended flashback he recalls the night, a year earlier, when armed police pulled him from his home and jailed him in Kenya's Kam?t? Maximum Security Prison, one of the largest in Africa. There, he lives in a prison block with eighteen other political prisoners, quarantined from the general prison population.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a conscious effort to fight back the humiliation and the intended degradation of the spirit, Ng?g?ーthe world-renowned author of ＜em＞Weep Not, Child＜/em＞; ＜em＞Petals of Blood＜/em＞; and ＜em＞Wizard of the Crow＜/em＞ーdecides to write a novel on toilet paper, the only paper to which he has access, a book that will become his classic, ＜em＞Devil on the Cross＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written in the early 1980s and never before published in America, ＜em＞Wrestling with the Devil＜/em＞ is Ng?g?'s account of the drama and the challenges of writing the novel under twenty-four-hour surveillance. He captures not only the excruciating pain that comes from being cut off from his wife and children, but also the spirit of defiance that defines hope. Ultimately, ＜em＞Wrestling with the Devil＜/em＞ is a testimony to the power of imagination to help humans break free of confinement, which is truly the story of all art.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
