Review
...a careful threading of quotes from many of Zimbabwe’s eminent literary figures, arranged according to theme. In between [are] recreated interviews, newspaper clippings, handwritten notes and other ephemera that, when put together, [build] a composite, subjective history of the country’s post-liberation canon. - Kwanele Sosibo, Mail & Guardian
