They Called You Dambudzo: A Memoir Veit-Wild Flora
How shall I tell our story? I struggle to disentangle a dense tapestry of memories. I hear your voice ringing in mine.
Early images will embrace later ones. One thread will be caught up in another. My gaze will often be filtered through your eyes, your poems.
In the end I will not always be able to tell the original from the reflection. Just as you wrote, Time's fingers on the piano / play emotion into motion / the dancers in the looking glass never recognise us as their originals.This book is a memoir with a 'double heartbeat'. At its centre is the author's relationship with the late Zimbabwean writer, Dambudzo Marechera, whose award-winning book The House of Hunger marked him as a powerful, disruptive, perhaps prophetic voice in African literature.
Flora Veit-Wild is internationally recognised for her significant contribution to preserving Marechera's legacy. What is less known
