Dangarembga, Tsitsi,
The book of not : a novel / Tsitsi Dangarembga. - Banbury, Oxfordshire, U.K. : Ayebia Clarke Pub., 2006. - 250 p. ; 20 cm.
A sequel to Nervous Conditions, this is a powerful and engaging story about one young woman’s quest to redefine the personal and political forces that threaten to engulf her. As its title suggests, this is also a book about denial and unfulfilled expectations and about the theft of the self that remains one of colonialism’s most pernicious legacies. The novel disrupts any comfortable sense of closure to the dilemmas of colonial modernity explored in Nervous Conditions and as such is a fitting sequel.
