The House of Hunger - Dambudzo Marechera
Dambudzo Marechera burst onto the literary scene in 1978 with this vivid roar of a book exploring township life in pre-independence Zimbabwe. Rejecting what he saw as the narrow stereotypes of African literature, Marechera’s stories portrayed a world flashing with violence and anarchic humour, as his narrator expresses his desperate alienation – from his family, from his student friends, from Zimbabwe itself.
