The House of Hunger - Dambudzo Marechera curating mutated from this historyDambudzo 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, Marecheras 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.
