PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS THE HOUSE OF HUNGER -...

'One of African literature's most fascinating and unorthodox figures' Brian Chikwava 'When all
else fails  don't take it in silence: scream like hell  scream like Jericho was tumbling down 
serenaded by a brace of trombones  scream' Dambudzo Marechera burst onto the literary scene in
1978 with this vivid roar of a book exploring township life in pre-independence Zimbabwe.
Rejecting what he saw as the narrow stereotypes of African literature  Marechera's stories
portrayed a world flashing with violence and anarchic humour  as his narrator expresses his
desperate alienation - from his family  from his student friends  from Zimbabwe itself. 'A
writer who considered fiction a form of combat  complex  challenging - and uniquely potent'
Guardian 'Like overhearing a scream' Doris Lessing 'A terrible beauty is born out of the
urgency of his vision' Angela Carter
