Petina Gappah returns with another collection of stories, exploring modern Zimbabwe
Klappentext zu „Rotten Row “
In her accomplished new story collection, Petina Gappah crosses the barriers of class, race, gender and sexual politics in Zimbabwe to explore the causes and effects of crime, and to meditate on the nature of justice. Rotten Row represents a leap in artistry and achievement from the award-winning author of An Elegy for Easterly and The Book of Memory . With compassion and humour, Petina Gappah paints portraits of lives aching for meaning to produce a moving and universal tableau.

Pressezitat
Petina Gappah is a favourite of ours at Emerald Street . Her novel The Book of Memory was our number one book of last year and she gave a hugely interesting and funny talk at The Emerald Street Literary Festival back in June... Rotten Row is a collection of short stories, based loosely around the road of the same name in Harare, Zimbabwe, the site of the city's criminal Magistrates' Courts...Every single one of them has a thoughtful structure that contains pulsing life. Anna Fielding Emerald Street
