Marechera made an immediate impact with the publication of The House of Hunger. The novella and nine short stories, most of them set in Zimbabwe, symbolise both home and country as the 'house of hunger', the place of madness and violence and despair. Marechera describes a world in which tenderness has long given way to the tactics of survival, and he does so in a style at once explosive and loaded with angry humour.

  • Great book...

    A very well written book, very insightful and clearly written by an extraordinary mind. I have read it more than once and will surely read it again in the future.

  • Writer with an amazing level of intelligence

    Dambudzo Marechera is unique. He manipulates the English language with complete ease. I would say he comes close to, trust equal to Christy Brown
