About Me
- Harare North
- In this astonishing, revelatory original debut, Caine Prize winner Brian Chikwava tackles head-on the realities of life as a refugee.This is the story of a stranger in a strange land – one of the thousands of illegal Zimbabwean immigrants seeking a better life in England - with a past he is determined to hide. Fearlessly political, laugh-out-loud funny and with an anti-hero whose voice is impossible to forget, Chikwava’s novel is an arresting account of London as it is experienced by the Africa’s dispossessed. Brian Chikwava's short story Seventh Street Alchemy was awarded the 2004 Caine Prize for African Writing.He has been a Charles Pick fellow at the University of East Anglia, and lives in London.
