Reviews
"Here, the realities of society are captured in motion, as they happen, with the socio-economic hardships in Zimbabwe today continuing to offer a fertile template for literary works. The short stories and poetry collected here are a reflection of the diversity of cultures, races and generations from which Zimbabwean writers come."
"Short Writings from Bulawayo is an important series, one that shows that despite all the terrible things happening in Zimbabwe, writers and writing, and, perhaps just maybe in a larger sense, hope, is still alive. Whether one reads all or just some of the material collected for us here, the opportunity to identify with and feel for the people of this devastated land will be the end result. This is an important work to add to contemporary African literature collections."
