Article-Summary: 

The maiden issue of Kenya's first literary magazine carries a smouldering tale of a taboo romance between two Kenyans - one ethnic Indian, one African. They cuddle behind the city's Indian haunt called Diamond Plaza. They discuss race and class. They swoon over his Swahili rap music and her homemade spiced kebabs "in a coup of cultural diversity," the author writes.
