Produktinformationen zu „No Room for Comfort (ePub)“
No Room for Comfort is an epic story set in pre-2003 Zimbabwe. It follows the life, trials, and tribulations of two orphaned brothers, Kudakwashe and Dzingai. It profiles their strained family relationships, loyalty, struggle, and their attempt to find a room where they could draw comfort. Its a well-written profile of life in Zimbabwe with all its cultural nuances; the narrative is rich in Shona idioms and proverbs and delivered in Zimbabwean English popularized over decades by luminaries such as Doris Lessing, Tsitsi Dangarembga, and many others.
No Room for Comforts story is a window into the Zimbabwe before the current one, which is characterized by dysfunctionality and a population defined by its resistance and resilience. Kudakwashe and Dzingais story serves as a metaphor for what Zimbabwe is going through right now. Their struggle to find their identity, living with various relatives who unleashed bad treatment over them irrespective of rich family bonds, could be a metaphor for the xenophobic attacks seen in South Africa and other countries.
No Room for Comfort could be a cry by Zimbabweans to finally find that room where they can rediscover their greatness once again. Kajengos style is penetrative, yet in a casual manner, thrust deep into the consciousness of a continent known for its Ubuntu yet famous for its tribal butcheries/genocide.
The book, by its very treatment of the subject of estrangement and loss, is a perfect candidate to paint a picture of where the continent is in this millennium. Kajengos no-holds-barred narrative style and his fusing of Shona with English is what Zimbabweans have been waiting for a very long time. This is the novel Africa needs to take to the world as a mirror of where it is today.

Autoren-Porträt von Brian Kajengo
Brian Kajengo arrived in South Africa in 2003 as part of the first flood of refugees. He had a musical and farming background. However, contrary to popular belief, Kajengo was no ordinary refugee from a country experiencing political meltdown. He was not in South Africa to enlist as a helpless refugee by the UNHCR or Immigration authorities but to share his knowledge and love for the arts and farming with the host country.Since then, Kajengo has taken part in hundreds of activities where his “import” skills and further acquired ones have been of benefit to tens of thousands of South Africans. He has, in the eight years that he has been a temporary resident here, completed a course in creative writing; written and published poetry in popular journals such as Botsotso; and freelanced for various magazines and newspapers as a journalist with news and content that has always been community-driven and impactful.
He is one of the most popular contributors to the Daily Sun newspaper and a horticulturalist in Mpumalanga who has contributed rare baobab trees to the Department of Economic Development and local municipalities. Throughout this time Kajengo has been working hard to push the development agenda of not only South Africa but the whole Commonwealth and SADC region forward.
Between such demanding social development works, Kajengo has written a novel titled No Room for Comfort, which has been prepared for printing as it has already undergone various editing stages.
