The two Zimbabwean writers featured in this collection of stories
and poems could not be more different. John Eppel is an English
literature teacher in Bulawayo; Julius Chingono, from Norton, near
Harare, was a rockblaster in mines for many years. Eppel is a
deliberate stylist, while Chingono is a deliberate antistylist. The
western literary tradition is pervasive in Eppel's writing;
Chingono is his own tradition. In another sense, however, they
could not be more similar. Both share an aversion for those in
power who exploit it to the detriment of all but their cronies and
themselves; both feel a deep compassion for the poor and the
marginalized of Zimbabwe. And they are both very funny.
