Dambudzo Marechera
The House of Hunger
‘No, I don’t hate being black. I’m just tired of saying it’s beautiful. No, I don’t hate myself.I’m just tired of people bruising their knuckles on my jaw.’A novella with the force of a screaming trumpet flare, Dambudzo Marechera’s seminal literary debut explores a body and spirit exiled from the land and the self. An inimitable and internationally admired writer, his profound ambivalence and wry, existential sensibility was forged in this iconic book.
