This book, the translation of the collection, Where to Now? Short
Stories from Zimbabwe, features sixteen Zimbabwean writers -
Raisedon Baya, NoViolet Bulawayo, Diana Charsley, Mapfumo Clement
Chihota, Murenga Joseph Chikowero, John Eppel, Fungai Rufaro
Machirori, Barbara Mhangami-Ruwende, Christopher Mlalazi, Mzana
Mthimkhulu, Blessing Musariri, Nyevero Muza, Thabisani Ndlovu,
Bryony Rheam, Novuyo Rosa Tshuma and Sandisile Tshuma. The writing
in the collection, at times dark, at times laced with comedy, is
set against the backdrop of Zimbabwe's 'lost decade' of rampant
inflation, violence, economic collapse and the flight of many of
its citizens. Its people are left to ponder - where to now? All the
voices are Zimbabwean. Even though some speak from the diaspora,
their inspiration comes from their homeland and their stories tell
of Zimbabwe. In the pages of Where to Now? you will meet the
prostitute who gets the better of her brothers when they try to
marry her off, the wife who is absolved of the charge of adultery,
the hero who drowns in a bowser of cheap beer and the poetry
slammer who does not get to perform his final poem. And many more.
