Can We Talk and Other Stories
by Shimmer Chinodya - £10.20 Heinemann (2001)
paperback
ISBN 13: 9780435912055 | ISBN 10: 0435912054
A collection of Zimbabwean stories following the transition from childhood to adult life. Youthful desires for prosperity, love and a purpose in life are undermined for Chinodya's characters as they grow up. The disappointments they face reflect a wider disillusionment and decline in post-independence Zimbabwe. In the final story, "Can We Talk," cynicism turns to anger at the breakdown of a marriage.
