Softcover. Condition: new. About the AuthorTsitsi Dangarembga is the author of two previous novels, including Nervous Conditions, winner of the Commonwealth Writers Prize. She is also the director of the Institute of Creative Arts for Progress in Africa Trust. She lives in Harare, Zimbabwe.Product DescriptionSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 BOOKER PRIZEA searing novel about the obstacles facing women in Zimbabwe, by one of the countrys most notable authorsAnxious about her prospects after leaving a stagnant job, Tambudzai finds herself living in a run-down youth hostel in downtown Harare. For reasons that include her grim financial prospects and her age, she moves to a widows boarding house and eventually finds work as a biology teacher. But at every turn in her attempt to make a life for herself, she is faced with a fresh humiliation, until the painful contrast between the future she imagined and her daily reality ultimately drives her to a breaking point.In This Mournable Body, Tsitsi Dangarembga returns to the protagonist of her acclaimed first novel, Nervous Conditions, to examine how the hope and potential of a young girl and a fledgling nation can sour over time and become a bitter and floundering struggle for survival. As a last resort, Tambudzai takes an ecotourism job that forces her to return to her parents impoverished homestead. It is this homecoming, in Dangarembgas tense and psychologically charged novel, that culminates in an act of betrayal, revealing just how toxic the combination of colonialism and capitalism can be.Review[A] masterpiece. . . . Dangarembga writes with intimacy and compassion; theres a sharp poetic crack to the work that keeps the story from muddying in melancholy, as it might in the hands of a less cinematic writer.-The New York Times Book Review[This Mournable Body] brilliantly dramatizes the tragic ironies of life in a country where keeping yourself afloat may mean swallowing your pride.-The New YorkerDangarembga gives us something rare: a sparkling antiheroine we find ourselves rooting for.-The Washington PostThe novel explores how race, gender, class, and age are at play in Zimbabwe, and the overwhelming strength of these forces in the face of even the most optimistic and ambitious women.-Vanity FairA harrowing psychological journey. . . . Like the period of Zimbabwes history this story is set in, the pain, false hopes and dashed enthusiasms come in large doses, and victory lies at the end of a very long road.-Chicago Tribune[This Mournable Body] is a staggering achievement, ambitious yet compulsively readable, a novel that feels like the culmination of 30 years of work and self-exploration even as it repeatedly shows how a life will always be a work in progress.-Star Tribune (Minneapolis)Through Tambu and her compatriots, Dangarembga investigates the ironic psychological demands of global capitalism on a country whose citizens have been fractured by that system. Complex and flawed, they are more than symbols. This Mournable Body makes their struggles visible.-Los Angeles Review of BooksUltimately, This Mournable Body is a reflection on the past, and how it can define us. Reckoning with horrific acts shed rather push away, Tambudzai is caught in a struggle between the deep urge to forget and the stifling inability to do so.-ZYZZYVAAwe-inspiring, a depiction of trauma, deterioration, and redemption accomplished with rare potency and grit.-The Masters ReviewDangarembga writes with a graceful eloquence that keeps the pages turning quickly.-Library Journal, starred reviewHeartbreaking and piercing. . . . This is a smartly told novel of hard-earned bitterness and disillusionment.-Publishers WeeklyA haunting, incisive, and timely glimpse into how misogyny and class strife shape life in post-colonial Zimbabwe.-Kirkus Reviews.

Softcover. Condition: new. A modern classic from the Booker-shortlisted author of This Mournable BodyThe groundbreaking first novel in Tsitsi Dangarembgas award-winning trilogy, Nervous Conditions, won the Commonwealth Writers Prize and has been hailed as one of the 20th centurys most significant works of African literature (The New York Times). Two decades before Zimbabwe would win independence and ended white minority rule, thirteen-year-old Tambudzai Sigauke embarks on her education. On her shoulders rest the economic hopes of her parents, siblings, and extended family, and within her burns the desire for independence. She yearns to be free of the constraints of her rural village and thinks shes found her way out when her wealthy uncle offers to sponsor her schooling. But she soon learns that the education she receives at his mission school comes with a price.
