Sorry to hear of the death of Luis. I was quite fond of him and I believe he too was fond of me given our common Kenya background although he was much older. During our last email chat he was quite annoyed that I didn’t make it to the release of his last book.
I was amazed at his literary productivity particularly about East Africa post Uhuru although I wish he was more careful about where he published his books as now it will be increasingly difficult to access them, apart from the fact that their credibility will be affected by their poor production values. Still I think that what he says is an important testimony to the times he lived in. Farewell bwana Luis.
