| The Cockroach Dance |
Every night, Dusman assures his cockroaches
that tomorrow will never come. But tomorrow
always comes, with madness and furies, and awes
and woes, and challenges that last longer than
the days.
Dusman Gonzaga lives in an old apartment
building overrun by cockroaches and squalor. The
building, Dacca House, is owned by Tumbo
Kubwa, a mindless slum lord, and occupied by a
strange mix of characters; from garbage
collectors to hawkers, from conmen to witch
doctors, from genii to mad men. In this crazy
world of wild adventures and appalling poverty,
Dusman tries to organize the tenants to boycott
paying rent in a desperate move to force the
landlord to listen to their woes.
“The Cockroach Dance is the stunning story
of one man’s resistance to a system of
intimidation and corruption dominated by the
‘haves’ in a society of ‘have-nots’ and
numerous ‘faceless ones’.
Meja Mwangi spins a fascinating tale of one
man’s revolt against exploitation”.
