<br />
Chapter 14<br />
<br />
<br />
The next eight days he kept inside waiting for Lillian to return. The next eight or so days he stayed inside, did the maths, tapping the numbers into an emotional calculator, trying to reach for some formulaic conclusions. It was eight days and nights in which nights screamed upwind the way stars lose their valid phantoms. He survived on a meagre diet of horizon off the windows, asking for the sky, hodden grey some days, to unravel morning, to set free the imprisoned sun, to strike bargains with the sun. The sky, grey-pinked some other days, in the arc of a glow; and some other days, chain-link grey- were like broken promises marrying pain and deep sighs. He passed himself several times as he was herding out to go back, going up to go down, going from home just to get to home. He was a forgotten road coming from nowhere.<br />
At least he still had the clock on the walls to tell him it was bed time.<br />
In those eight days, he survived by attrition, emptying out his heart and laying it bare on the table as he dealt with too much psychic traffic. His mind became a rain-fed river, a broken barometer, an industrial diamond lost in the cargo. <br />
Maybe, he should have left for another place or even go abroad, forgetting or remembering who he was or who Lillian was to him but he stayed home. Yet, he knew, he couldn't stay inside forever, a guardian of rooms, the purpose of his existence! No! There were no guides for him, none at all home. All his enquiries were coming back unanswered. He discovered that she wasn't coming back. He had to trust anything else, but a new day. It was tomorrow which was like today that was coming back every morning and that tomorrow was uncovering the emptiness, the fear of aloneness, of life and life waning.<br />
That tomorrow's world was squatting snarling, teeth bared in savage hiss of blood and conflict, waking him back everyday to the reality of his life behind those concrete walls. Only for him to rudely discover that he was always alone. Everywhere he looked, on everything: dark, dark, dark… until another morning had its say.<br />
He discovered he had been turning into a malevolently distorted zombie, parleying with God in those frigid rooms, full of hatred. Maybe he had been like that since the day he saw Lillian lying behind that small bush in the park? He discovered that this desire, this grief, this anger, this pain that he had been holding onto in its own heat had now turned into spite. When we desire anger, pain and grief as love and that when such slight hope of finding that love faded, then nothing would remain. When we hand tie these barbs of grief into soft strands in our hearts we will as well be twisting these strands tightly until our hearts were bleeding. We would strangely admire our handwork at that, unable to understand, or express our loneliness.<br />
Grief, guilty, in that spot that was so raw and open, that felt like the skin was coming off, weighed heavy on him like an eternity ring of habit settling on a good address, a wife, children, home and dusted down acquaintances.<br />
He had to come back to some kind of reality. How about starting by opening up her shopping bag? Don remembered Lillian had promised him something for the past Christmas holiday. <br />
He went to find her handbag in the drawers. It was there tucked clean from the blood. Someone had cleaned off Lillian's blood. He opened it with bathed breathe. In her bag were a few of Lillian's own things that helped him search through a winter long of memories, discarding endless nothing-like-her-things and a bran-new gold watch. It was her special gift to him. The one she had gone to buy him when she was murdered by Bones. He couldn't help visualising seeing Lillian presenting it to him with that serene infectious smile. He knew she wanted to enjoy the wonder that would come across his face as he opened that gift.<br />
Now, her image in his mind had a scowl against time looting the seasons. Then below the bag was this card. It was one of her own and not like those colourful ones but simple, like her; infringed with purplish red roses. Very simple roses and inside the card were these few words<br />
"I always will be yours" Just those five words and nothing else! Her pen running dry, that was her last method and now he missed her stroking a pen. Always being mine; what had become of that promise? Maybe Browning was correct when he caused these words. <br />
<br />
"Nay blame grief that’s fickle<br />
Time that proves a traitor.<br />
Chance, chance, all that purpose warps.<br />
Death who spares to thrust the sickle,<br />
Laid love low, through flower which later,<br />
Shroud the corpse! "<br />
<br />
Maybe, he felt, he had to blame grief, maybe time, maybe death, maybe God, maybe himself…<br />
MAN: Him, Himself, Don, maybe the human condition, the condition of humans, conditioned to failure. Maybe he had to disagree with Browning.<br />
He had come to believe in things always being the same and never expected things to change and he himself, being alone again. That one day, he could be facing all these things alone, all thorns and thistles of life, all alone, and of course, he couldn't have thought of anything being different... and that's expectation in us. Now, he was feeling the pain and anger and who wouldn't have had given that they had lost their loved ones. For the first time in his life he felt how painful it was to miss to be missed. He also felt how painful and foolish it can be to surrender hopes of ever getting closer to the names and shapes that one has depended on to live.<br />
Suffering is contractive, unintelligible, maddening, strange…<br />
Since his anger had been arrested for the past eight days it now reared its ugly head up in fury, backward crested within him. The storm within him was fiercer yet soaring, swelling and roaring like a released cauldron's swirl. It was a frenzied beast. Every resistance within him was swept into an instant void. He felt beset, besieged, deadlocked, sandwiched in grief, anger and guilty. All these were surging eddies and cesspools of resistance emptying into madness, into a madness that no longer was containable. These dark energies were exerting an enormous force in his universe, bringing back the forgotten past of twenty four years ago, jazzing up the anger all the more. There was only one missing mass to make it complete. Dare we call this missing mass, spiritual? But, who is to say Eve's apple wasn't a nettle seed, an aloe seed, or even lemon?<br />
<br />
Twenty four years before, his home, now miles away in the eastern highlands where he was born, and the heart heavy as lead; he was all alone on this lonesome road. Walking, as if walking in the hard rain, the hard raindrops beating the road just as loud as young lovers kissing, he now had nowhere else to go. His parents: Long dead parents, their souls fished out, their legs buckled and spent, were buried under the dirt. Twenty four years before, the parents he loved had died.<br />
Maybe it could have been fair had he gone to bed with them that night. He couldn't be facing all this alone! He knew of a fate worse than death that couldn't allow him to die with his parents getting involved in his destiny. It was a fate that would wake up on the doorstep of death. The smack of that competent fate had a lot to show him. That fate wanted him to face everything in this world alone. Maybe that's why he refused to share bed with his parents that night.<br />
That's why, all of a sudden, he wanted to own his own place and slept in that kitchen where he always feared being alone in at night. Yet that night, he wanted to be alone, to be at his own, to grow up, breaking out of his parents' clutches at the treacle age of six. That's what he did. He seemed to have grown up, however, as he opened his eyes to see, everybody was dead, but only him. They had died and left him alone in such a terrifying world. He had to grope around, sometimes holding onto small ledges, never bigger ones for that matter! He couldn't help holding onto them and one of them was the orphanage. In between, he had come to believe that it would always be there.<br />
Small ledge that it was, four years it was, the ledge all of a sudden vanished. Leaving him in total darkness, in the middle of nowhere with nothing to hold onto; always falling this way that way, swirling. The dark beginnings of a terrifyingly awesome dream, in Harare, after the orphanage, the road had been a lonesome one, but still peopled. The road was as much inhabited as was his mind, and all of which resembled the other when they could act kindly towards the other. He did hold onto that road of aloneness for far too long.<br />
He couldn't move a step and if ever he did move it appeared as if he hadn't taken such a step. He was still there where he was when he woke up suddenly in that night. He couldn't breathe in the heat, in the smoke that enclosed him, in that smoky trance-like dream. Visionary though, not so far away; the smoke seemed to lighten. He had started to move toward that point. He had been moving and choking from the smoke when it started hotting up all the more. Then, flames started erupting from all around him, circling him in. The heat was too unbearable and breathing was of the suffocating and choking kind. When he had been thinking he was passing out, suddenly he woke up. Surprising though, it was so hot and smoky! He could hear faint cries emanating from his parents' hut so he went out to find out…<br />
What he saw and felt that day: he just felt something in his chest giving way like a hand releasing a pigeon into air. His gut seemed like it was sinking, like an echo after a fall. It was his Mom and Dad, being held in their moaning by the fire's chilling breath. Radiant gas was steaming like a jet of vision out through the doorway. Through this small doorway, he observed the process of dissolving into ash, his parents covered in flames and gas of smoke.<br />
The smoke rose and rose with surcease. He could also hear the burning in the form of a low bass-note, and the almost noticeable smell of the flesh burning, the meat frying, roasting, strong in his nose. A little later, he could see the wing-like flames billowing, a lava of flames out of the margins of their bodies. Then their disintegrated skeletons, what's left of them: were two burned bodies now unrecognisable that had survived temperatures of above five hundred degrees Celsius.<br />
Hip joints, four pairs of forceps, a femur, an ulna, a scapula, a patella, pebbles of metatarsals, pebbles of metatarsals, the skulls glowing in the heat of the burning. Those skulls, still recognisably human's skulls, were still burning to a jaundiced yellow-blue, an aura between lilac and or cornflower. These bestial pieces that couldn't fill a plastic bag, tortured by their passion and love of each other! And then the two plastics lying on the grounds, both of bits and pieces of his parents' leftovers, salvaged from the fire, now arranged perfectly in an impossible syncopation.<br />
The silence between them was a wet blanket. It was as if the end of life was really about shedding one's identity along with the physical form that holds it. The memory of it all! He had came to hate any kind of burning, even lights in a room he slept in had to be put out before he could go to sleep. It represented to him, uncannily steady flames separated from smoke. He would wake up in the middle of the night, his heart thudding violently, if he leaves the lights on.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">PLAN B</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“There is a plan B to the world
cup”, Uncle Victor says.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Its FIFA soccer politics”, my brother says</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It’s because of Zimbabwe’s
political situation”, I say</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Guys, the world cup is good
business for everyone”, Auntie Florence, Uncle Victor’s wife, says</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a year away from the world
cup, and the vuvuzelas are being blown into the air to distraction. Some
destitute man of our street has made it his plan B, teaching enthusiasts how to
blow a vuvuzelas. There is always a plan B to everything in life. I can’t run
away from home, from the noise, for I have no plan B against these vuvuzelas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, in most cases it becomes THE
PLAN, I am thinking, I am on my way back from the town centre; one and half
kilometer sweet walk to home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Hello Bhudi, there is a job in
this white man’s place”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Is it, I am not really looking
for a job”, I am always scared of strangers thinking they know what I needed,
wanted at that moment of contact. But he persisted</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He is distributing world cup soccer
T-shirts to kids at a preschool day care. So, this white man needs general
hands to help him, and he is paying a hundred bucks.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could do with a hundred bucks, I
thought.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
I needed a plan B to my depleting
cash in my pocket, but I tried to refuse. It’s not safe in the suburb, anymore,
especially with the hive of activity around the world cup. Everyone is looking
for a quick bug, but eventually, I agree. This guy who has approached me has
also approached another guy who has been walking behind me, all the way from
the city centre. I choose to build faith in this safety in numbers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“The white man wants us to declare
everything that we have before we enter into his property, so what do you have,
guys.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other guy who was walking
behind me says, “I have a cell and a hundred Rands.” He gives these to our
benefactor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I have 1500 Rands, a cell and these
groceries”. Our benefactor says, “Give me the money and cell.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“The groceries are not a problem”.
He says as he takes my money and cell.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He leaves us waiting on the front
gate of this property, and goes to the side gate, which is in another street.
We wait for 3 minutes. It is like an eternity, the weight of an event.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The original plan doesn’t always happen,
because it is always too ambitious. It strikes me as I run to the other street
to check what was taking this guy so long. The street is a clear black of the
tarred surface. There is no gate to the property. Blood is exploding in my head
as anger surges. I go back to check on the other guy, the guy is nowhere to be
found. There is a speeding car in the next street. I fold down in the lawns of
this property.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My uncle is not happy about this,
for I have lost him 1500 bucks, but he accepts my explanations. After all, I
was plan B. Auntie Florence was away who would do these accounts payments.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, of course, the world cup was on-going in
South Africa, which was the plan A.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plan B.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“There is no plan B”, Stepp
Blatter refuted what he had blurted out.</div>

<i>Zimbabwe: The Blame Game</i> is a cycle of creative non-fiction
pieces, pulling the readers through the politics of modern day Zimbabwe.
Like in any game, there are players in this game, opposing each other.
The game is told through the eyes of one of the players, thus it is
subjective. It centres on truthfully trying to find who to blame for
Zimbabwe’s problems, and how to undo all these problems. Finding who to
blame should be the beginning for the search of solutions. It encourages
talking to each other, maybe about the wrongs we have done to each
other, and genuinely trying to embrace and forgive each other. In trying
to undo the problems in Zimbabwe, it also offers insight or solutions
on a larger platform - Africa: particularly South Africa; that it might
learn from other African countries that have imploded before it, how to
solve its own problems.</div>

read <i>Keys in the River: Notes from a Modern Chimurenga</i> by
Zimbabwean author, Tendai Mwanaka. I'm glad I finally got the chance to read it
last night. Published by Savant Books, who I have to say a big thank you for
sending me the review copy, <i>Keys in the River </i>is a collection
of 23 short stories. </span><span lang="EN-US"></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The stories in this collection show the many different
experiences of Zimbabweans. It begins with <i>Sunset </i>a story about
love, relationship fears and the lengths a man will go to due to such fears. It
ends with <i>Sunrise</i>, where we see the consequences of such decisions. In
between there are stories of young men finding love (<i>Mangoyi - The Cat</i>),
entrepreneurial spirit in the face of poverty (<i>Mushazhike </i>and <i>Nyadzonya</i>), illegal
border crossing (<i>Limpopo's Bones</i>), on ZANUPF supporters (<i>Mbuya
Chitungwiza</i>), the consequences of supporting the opposition party, MDC (<i>Breaking
the Silence</i>), or false accusations from the government (</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The List</i>)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Stories are set in rural Zimbabwe, others in cities, and
some outside of Zimabawe touching on Bostwana, Mozambique and South
Africa. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a few situations many chapters after you first meet them, characters return to continue their story. Stories like <i>Sunrise </i>and <i>Sunset</i>, but also </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Mushazhike </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Nyadzonya </i>are such cases. In others, like <i>Limpopo's Bones</i> and <i>The Dark-Haired Girl</i> a few themes overlap. I liked the continuation of stories and the cross-cutting of themes. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also enjoyed the different styles in which the stories were
written - some were simple, others poetic. Although sometimes it did feel like there was a moral to a few of the stories. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The collection also makes you think. In <i>Breaking the Silence </i>and <i>The List, </i>where
people disappear or are abducted and then tortured, how safe can you
really be in your own country? Also, how easily can you be wrongfully
accused? In <i>Limpopo's Bones </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the
thought of it being illegal is removed from border crossing. Here, we
just read about the people who are crossing, and the border gangsters
who help them do so. There are certain dangers when crossing </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but people put themselves through this regularly for the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">possibility of a better life. Although in </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Nyadzonya</i>, which also includes illegally crossing to Mozambique from Zimababwe through the feat that is </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nyadzonya</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mountain, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sometimes there's no better life on the other side. Yet, people take that risk on a regular basis.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In
the introduction Tendai Mwanaka goes into some detail on the meaning of
the term 'chimurenga'. I won't go into that here, but the word means
struggle. Although there are tales of love and tragedy, politics and
poverty, fundamentally </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Keys in the River</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is a collection of stories about struggle told from different perspectives. </span><br />

<a href="http://brettalansanders.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/images5-21.jpg"><img alt="Almanac of the Dead, by Leslie Marmon Silko" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-340" src="http://brettalansanders.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/images5-21.jpg?w=500" title="Almanac of the Dead" /></a> One character from <em>Almanac of the Dead</em>
whom I didn’t mention the other day is Clinton, the African American
Vietnam veteran and homeless man whose researches into the history of
slave revolts in the Americas and the intermingling of African American
and Native American peoples prove quite intriguing. While his personal
hold on sanity might be precarious, he is a compelling character who
brings a lot to the table. He is, in effect, the novel’s principal
liaison between the indigenous of the American and African continents. A
common motif in Leslie Marmon Silko’s novel is the African peoples’
retaking of their lands in the 20<sup>th</sup> century and their
standing, thus, as an inspiration and a model for indigenous America’s
eventual reclaiming of its own – as prophesied.</div>
But to what end this liberation of African nations from their
European overlords? Isn’t Africa today wholly a tale of ecological and
human degradation, of continuing and continual bloodletting and mass
starvation, of the mere replacement of white rulers for black tyrants?
What does liberation mean in this context? Is the future a hopeful place
at all or a recipe for despair?<br />
<a href="http://brettalansanders.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/kitr-fcovermed-opt137x206o00s137x2061.jpg"><img alt="Keys of the River, by Tendai Mwanaka" class="alignright size-full wp-image-341" src="http://brettalansanders.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/kitr-fcovermed-opt137x206o00s137x2061.jpg?w=500" title="Keys of the River" /></a>With these questions in mind it was with considerable interest that I picked up Zimbabwean writer Tendai Mwanaka’s <em>Keys in the River: Notes from a Modern Chimurenga</em>,
which the Hawaiian publisher Savant Books brought out this year. In
these stories Mwanaka does indeed wade through a territory rife with
atrocity and yet also humor, love, and resilience. Answers to the
questions posed above are not directly given in these stories, but a
hope that the African peoples will eventually find their way is at least
suggested. These matters are difficult and complicated, to be sure, and
unique from nation to nation; and likewise nothing comes easy in the
starkly realistic world of these stories, though their harsh realities
are leavened now and then by a romantic tone – bringing the work, at
last, to a high note of hope and dignity.<br />
For “dignity” the author might say “nobility.” In his prologue,
explaining the significance of the word “chimurenga” (which most
approximately means “struggle”), he comments in this way on the book’s
theme: “Even when a people are faced with a chaotic and turbulent world
due to the machinations of despotic leaders, the terror of ongoing
pandemics, the chronic poverty stemming from poorly designed economies,
the human heart continues to pump with courage, with conviction. A
chimurenga, then, is not just a struggle but also a noble stance in the
face of the struggle” (p. 1).<br />
<a href="http://brettalansanders.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/images22.jpg"><img alt="Tendai Mwanaka, Zimbabwean writer" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-347" src="http://brettalansanders.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/images22.jpg?w=500" title="Tendai Mwanaka" /></a>One
of the most affecting stories to me – and stunning in its effect – is
“Limpopo’s Bones.” The Limpopo is a crocodile-infested river and one of
the hurdles in illegal crossings between Zimbabwe and South Africa, the
latter in a sense being to the United States what Zimbabwe is to Mexico.
The bones, as we eventually discover, belong to an infant who is
abandoned beside the river when this particular crossing goes bad. The
protagonist is a young man who relates the wrenching story of what
happened (and of his responsibility in it) during the time he was a sort
of Zimbabwean counterpart to the Mexican “coyote” – “a Malaitshas, a
border gangtster, helping people cross over to South Africa illegally”
(p. 50). The story itself becomes witness to the ordinariness of the
perpetrators of crimes against humanity whom we call Monsters – the
evil-doing Other – while in fact they are just human beings much like
us, only pushed by various combinations of fear and hate, cynicism and
circumstance to commit their cruel acts (though the presence among them
of sociopathy might not hurt either). At the same time the story puts a
face on the so-called “illegal alien” of a portion of our political
discourse in the USA.<br />
How does one read such a story and still manage to see the average
illegal crossers as merely criminal – for no other act at all than the
crossing of the border itself, an act that people have been doing for
millenia in response to the moment’s needs? What I am pointing out here
is simply an illustration of Kenneth Burke’s notion of literature as
persuasion to attitude.<br />
Another story that took my breath away is the short piece “Breaking
the Silence,” which deals, within this African context, with the problem
of disappearances and death squads that has been so prevalent in Latin
America. “In those days,” Mwanaka’s narrator says, “people were
disappearing even in broad daylight” (p. 81). The horror of what occurs
here to one young couple, the wife who is pregnant with what was to be
their first child, is chilling. The horror that the story names is well
expressed in this narrator’s phrase: “this terror, this monstrosity of
patriotism” (p. 83). How safe are we ever, even in our land, from the
violence of our own monstrosities of patriotism?<br />
These stories of barbarities are broken up, thankfully, with stories
about other things including love and even containing humor. The two
most successful love stories, in my view, are an early story called “And
She Said ‘Yes’” and a late one called “Hearts Are Victors”; these are
the happiest, in any case, and very sweet. Of the predominantly
humorous, the funniest is “Thus Far; No Further” which involves a
nighttime raid by haughty boys to rescue their unjustly impounded cattle
from the local mission’s enclosure. Against the spiteful nun and her
acquiescent priest – those are who stand to profit by the usurious fines
on an impoverished people’s straying cattle – the mischievous boys are
triumphant. The little tale is itself quite charming.<br />
The collection’s first story, “Sunset,” deals rather dramatically
with the AIDS crisis as it affects one young man in particular. This
story is directly tied to the last, “Sunrise,” which explores the
experience of the girlfriend who might also be infected. These two
stories in their unity, starting in tragedy, become a paean to hope that
is also implied by the boys’ outwitting of their oppressors. The book
ends, then, with this simple declarative sentence: “It was time to let
tears run dry” (p. 243). Coming right after the joyous “Hearts Are
Victors” the effect of this last story is very strong, and lends to the
whole collection a sense of redemption.<br />
This isn’t a perfect book. There is some linguistic awkwardness here
and there, perhaps stemming from the author’s writing in a second
language – though, on the whole, he writes very well. Some of the
stories seem too heavy on the explication, which merges into a sometimes
annoying moralizing – which in turn speaks to an occasional confusion, I
think, between author and narrator (a confusion helped along by the
introducing of a younger Tendai himself into two or three of the tales).
But overall these are mere quibbles. The book strongly deserves a wide
readership.<br />

visual image and text that introduce this last segment come courtesy of
my son, Jonathan, who posted it last week to his Facebook page. In this
context – and I hope that the association with a book about one corner
of Africa won’t encourage another round of birther madness; the forever
re-asserting, alongside other baseless and racially-tinged conspiracy
theories, of the disproven allegation that President Obama was born not
in the state of Hawaii but in another corner of Africa – in this context
it seems to me that regardless of whatever else anyone might rationally
say against Obama he cannot be accused of an unwillingness to negotiate
with the Republicans in Congress.<br />
Perhaps his primary fault was just to keep believing – despite the
open declaration of contempt for his authority and of a determination to
see him fail – that they would compromise back.<br />
What a sad commentary on the present state of the Republican Party!<br />

Your son’s take on basic rights like
health care is right on the mark, Brett. As for politics these days, I
am often reminded of those haunting lines from<br />
Yeats, in “The Second Coming”: “The best lack all conviction, while the
worst/Are full of passionate intensity.”–Regards, Ron Pies MD<br />

<img alt=""Keys in the River" by Tendai Mwanaka" class="im2" height="144" src="http://www.prlog.org/11953206-keys-in-the-river-by-tendai-mwanaka.jpg" style="height: 144px; width: 96px;" title=""Keys in the River" by Tendai Mwanaka" width="96" /><i>Aug 18, 2012</i> - <br />
Keys in the River is a cycle of stories about economically-<br />
<div class="content" id="bd" itemprop="articleBody">
<wbr></wbr>challenged, politically-<wbr></wbr>torn,
and disease-ridden Zimbabwe, told as if the reader were sitting and
listening to neighbors and friends talking about life. Some stories are
tender, even comic; in others, tragedy and outrage lurk. The stories
share a common thread, a noble stance in the struggle to find love,
freedom, justice, completeness, and satisfaction.<br />
<br />
The author,
Tendai Rinos Mwanaka, was born in 1973, in Nyanga, Nyatate, Mapfurira
village, in the remote eastern highlands of Zimbabwe. He is the author
of "Voices from Exile," a collection of poetry on Zimbabwe's political
situation and exile in South Africa (Lapwing Publications, 2010). He has
written numerous articles and won several awards. "Logbook Written by a
Drifter," and "Voices from Exile" were both short-listed for the
Erbecce Press Poetry Prize in 2011 and 2009, respectively. He was
nominated for a Pushcart Award twice, once in 2008, and again in 2010,
as well as commended for the Dalro Prize in 2008. He has published over
200 short stories, essays, memoirs, poems and visual art productions in
over 100 magazines, journals, and anthologies in the following
countries: USA, UK, Canada, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Kenya,
India, Italy, France, Spain, Cyprus, Australia and New Zealand. He lives
and stays in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe.<br />
<br />
"In the spirit of
self-promotion and with a wink and a playful smile, I recommend to you
'Keys in the River'," says Mwanaka. "Put on some good music, place some
tasty food within reach, then let yourself sink into the stories. Let
the ideas growl within your consciousness. Challenge all your
perceptions about Africa and Zimbabwe until even your new perspective
becomes a howling, mangy dog. Now you know modern Africa. I prescribe
'Keys in the River' is the best medication for people suffering from
this exhausting, frustrating and high-strung twenty-first-<wbr></wbr>century world."<br />
<br />
