Tsitsi Dangarembga Publishes New Novel

Author and filmmaker Tsitsi Dangarembga has published her latest work titled “This Mournable Body.” Dangarembga is the author of the critically acclaimed novel “Nervous Conditions” which was recently ranked as one of “The 100 Stories that shaped the world.”

In her latest work, Dangarembaga continues the story of Tambudzai, the protagonist from Nervous Conditions. Amazon says,

…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 fledgeling 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.

However, the book is only available in August. It’s available on Amazon in Kindle, Paperback and Audio CD format.
