01. ZIMBABWE Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo Tholokuthi, this was a wild ride! Hilarious, haunting, satirical and surreal. The country of Jidada is being run into the ground by The Old Horse and his army of canine Defenders The Children of the Nation dream of liberation, again.

Book cover - with line drawings of a goat and a butterfly, partially coloured in. A sticker at the top left shows that it was shortlisted for the booker prize in 2022. Author Photo. She looks exactly as cool and interesting as you would expect.

perhaps relatedly, they recently banned a Herald journalist from attending Jets press conferences and media boxes due to critical coverage. in response, the Herald - Newcastle’s only paper - is refusing to cover the club entirely in solidarity. just diabolical management every way you look at it.

On the Calculation of Volume III, Solvej Balle, trs. Sophia Hersi Smith & Jennifer Russell. Tara's adventures on 18 November continue – she is no longer alone. How many more people are trapped in this day? I'm in awe of the translators who have taken over seamlessly from the previous one. 💙📚🌐

Photo of the front cover of the novella On The Calculation Of Volume III, by Solvej Balle, translated by Sophia Hersi Smith and Jennifer Russell. The cover is a pale green colour, the text is in black, apart from the number III, which is in magenta. The central image is a blurred picture of a tree, as if seen from the window of a moving train, with indistinct buildings behind it and a greenish-brownish foreground. There is space for the information that the book was shortlisted for the International Booker prize, but not for the translators' names.
