"Kill Me Quick" by Meja Mwangi, published in 1973, is a notable Kenyan novel that won the Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature in 1974. The story follows two young men, Meja and Maina, who move to the city after finishing secondary school, hoping to find jobs and support their families. They face harsh realities, including poverty, unemployment, and social challenges, living in desperate conditions and experiencing betrayal and hardship. The novel highlights themes such as disillusionment with postcolonial promises, treatment of women, urban poverty, crime, and the struggle for survival in a corrupt and indifferent society.
It also explores existential questions around identity, belonging, and the harshness of life in the city versus expectations from rural areas. The story includes episodes of crime, imprisonment, and fractured friendships, painting a vivid picture of the urban Kenyan experience in the post-independence era.
