I don't think Kenya is the only country that tries to induce amnesia - it seems to be a global phenomenon. But offenses do not die. They do not disappear.

I can edit into infinity. It's such a joy. I'd probably edit until the last word. Until there's only one word left.

I get turned on by the idea of an essence - finding the essence of the thing.

Recording stories is a way of honoring the faculty of memory, even if it's recorded, outsourcing memory to technology.

It may not seem that way, but I am an absolute optimist, an unrepentant optimist.

Kenya is a mercurial character. I feel the country has a presence that can turn on its people in a very violent way.

Even if you're in charge of the grand story there's still memory. The other stories do not go away.
