Okang'a Ooko is novelist, artist, and designer with deep roots in publishing, storytelling, and design. He grew up in Kenya up in Kisumu, Kenya, and later lived briefly in Barcelona, Spain. He thrives on a steady diet of music, dreams, and literature. To date, his books are mostly set in Kenya and are often characterized by several recurring themes that explore the complexities of modern African society, culture, and identity. At his best, his works are mostly character-driven modern stories that evoke a sense of struggle to succeed while grappling with the uncertainties of the present and future. His themes typically include history, pop culture (especially music), love and danger, politics, human greed, power and control, business, art and culture, corruption, religion, crime and punishment, self-development as well as death and mortality. Many times, his characters are misfits with extravagant vulgarities and complexities that often drive them to the fringes of society. But history remains a major theme in his works.
