This mournable body : a novel / Tsitsi Dangarembga. by Dangarembga, Tsitsi, author.

ISBN:  9781555978129 (paperback) 1555978126 (paperback) Description:  284 pages ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Anxious about her prospects after leaving a stagnant job, Tambudzai finds herself living in a run-down youth hostel in downtown Harare. For reasons that include her grim financial prospects and her age, she moves to a widow's boarding house and eventually finds work as a biology teacher. But at every turn in her attempt to make a life for herself, she is faced with a fresh humiliation, until the painful contrast between the future she imagined and her daily reality ultimately drives her to a breaking point. In this mournable body, Tsitsi Dangarembga returns to the protagonist of her acclaimed first novel, Nervous Conditions, to examine how the hope and potential of a young girl and a fledgling nation can sour over time and become a bitter and floundering struggle for survival. As a last resort, Tambudzai takes an ecotourism job that forces her to return to her parents' impoverished homestead. It is this homecoming, in Dangarembga's tense and psychologically charged novel, that culminates in an act of betrayal, revealing just how toxic the combination of colonialism and capitalism can be."--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga (pbk) Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Lost 02/02/2021 Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Dangarembga   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
