Ng~ug~i has published a handful of books over the past decade, including the novel "The Perfect Nine" and the prison memoir "Wrestling with the Devil," and was otherwise in the news in 2022 when his son, house tutoring M~ukoma wa Ng~ug~i, alleged that he had physically abused his first wife, Nyambura, who died in 1996 ("I can say categorically it´s not true," Ng~ug~i wa Thiong'o responds). "In Kenya, even today, we have children and their parents who cannot speak their mother tongues, or the parents know their mother tongues and don't want their children to know their mother tongue.
