Críticas

Reviews: Why Don't You Carve Other Animals Why Don't You Carve Other Animals Runner-up for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Africa Region, 1993 "A subtle writer... [This book] radiates the same commitment as The Grass Is Singing, Doris Lessing's first novel, which forty years ago also reported unbridgeable boundaries in Southern Africa." ?The Toronto Review "Caught between memory and dreaming, the hopeful exile weaves a comforting performance out of a tale of agony."

Reseña del editor

The place is white-ruled Rhodesia of the seventies (now Zimbabwe), the exile the African in his own land. Young men and women flee from their villages to join the freedom fighters in the forest. These stories, set during the years of the armed struggle, tell of the other struggle, that of survival of those who stayed behind. Told essentially from the women's point of view in lyrical but unaffected prose, the stories recreate the dark atmosphere of those months full of fear and hope.
