Nairobi’s Lava Latte Café will host the launch of ‘Mystery Monkeys’, the latest work by Kenyan writer George Gathiani, on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.
The event promises an engaging evening of ideas, conversation, and literary discovery in the relaxed setting of one of the city’s most vibrant cultural spaces.
Described as a witty yet deeply philosophical journey, ‘Mystery Monkeys’ takes readers on an exploration of one of humanity’s most enduring questions: the origins of human consciousness.
“Through sharp observations and playful inquiry, Gathiani navigates the enigma of how our minds evolved to question themselves, blending accessible humour with profound philosophical insight,” the synopsis reads.
Guests at the launch can look forward to a reading by the author, interactive discussions, and an opportunity to connect with Nairobi’s growing literary community.
Admission is free, though attendees are encouraged to RSVP in advance.
Mystery Monkeys is published by Wanderer’s Path and the digital copy is available to purchase on platforms such as Apple Books, Kobo and Barnes and Noble for an estimated $6.99 (Ksh. 904).
