Zimbolicious Anthology: An Anthology of Zimbabwean Literature and Arts, Vol 5 is the fifth in this yearly journal of Zimbabwean literature and the arts as it happens. The poetry covers a range of subjects; love, spirituality, religion, migration, poet's vocation and as usual the political direction or situation in the country. The fiction deals with a wide range issues, from religious contrivance in Gwiriri's story, drug problem and corruption in Mutize's story, the political and economic strife in Tokwe's story, and the personal trauma story in Chikomo's car accident story.
In the nonfiction section we have Muchuri's illuminating essay on another Zimbabwe storyteller, Ignatious Mabasa's Shona books, Zvikomborero Kapuya harks back to the land issue as the starting point and catapult to the misunderstandings between Zimbabwe and her erstwhile foreign enemies, Chikono writes his painful life story on shame families carry when a family member has a child out of wedlock, worst when the child is disabled and Mwanaka has a small philosophical vignette essay on choice.
The visual section is heralded by Nhevera's iconic brushworks depicting movement and portraiture, and Mwanaka has an array of art pieces from documentary photography, experimental photography, water colour, computer graphic and installation, wrapping up this new offering.

Описание: This intriguing blend of science fiction and black magic will leave readers spellbound as they follow the adventures of a nineteen-year-old-girl with powers beyond our imaginations.Short Description (2,000 characters, including spaces)Who, or what, is Tendai? The answer may surprise-and horrify-you. From the author of Circles and The Justice comes a breathtaking new tale showing exactly what happens when magic, love, and science are unchecked by any moral bounds. Boakyewaa Glover's Tendai is sure to leave readers spellbound.Tendai appears to the outside world to be an ordinary eighteen-year-old girl. Yes, her birth was an unusual one. And yes, every year on her birthday a raging storm grips her entire town. But despite these odd occurrences Tendai has attempted to live a normal life complete with the drama of a boyfriend, school, and family.However, as Tendai's nineteenth birthday approaches, strange things begin to happen. Her psychic abilities, always a vaguely strange presence in Tendai's life, radically amplify, leaving the confused teenager afraid of her growing powers. As she begins to question who she really is and where these strange-and terrifying-powers come from, Tendai soon learns the horrifying truth behind her very existence.Dr. Rosen was a retired geneticist from NASA and his lifelong ambition was to create the perfect human being. He'd done it before, he'd created his one true hybrid and all he wanted to do was replicate his genius creation. So Rosen moved to Ghana - a country he regarded as a peaceful, private haven - and started the Hybrid Africa Project, what he hoped would be his great legacy of all time. Nana Nimako loved his son dearly, but he didn't like his daughter-in-law and wasn't surprised when the first child she bore turned out to be a slow, bumbling boy afraid of his own shadow. When his daughter-in-law became pregnant the second time, he knew he had to do something. Since praying to God hadn't worked the first time, Nimako resorted to something else - something ancient and darker, his last hope for the perfect grandchild. Science and nature - a unique and deadly combination. This is a story of mystery and intrigue, of loyalty and betrayal, of power and mayhem, love and passion, and a battle to understand and to survive. This is the story of Tendai.

Описание: "A sensitive exploration of the concepts of identity, family, and home grounded in a rich, intricately detailed depiction of the immigrant experience of the global African diaspora." —Kirkus ReviewsThe Hairdresser of Harare, which the New York Times Book Review called "a fresh and moving account of contemporary Zimbabwe," announced Tendai Huchu as a shrewd and funny social commentator. In The Maestro, the Magistrate & the Mathematician, Huchu expands his focus from Zimbabwe to the lives of expatriates in Edinburgh, Scotland. The novel follows three Zimbabwean men as they struggle to find places for themselves in Scotland. As he wanders Edinburgh with his Walkman on a constant loop of the music of home, the Magistrate?—?a former judge, now a health aide?—?tries to find meaning in new memories. The depressed and quixotic Maestro?—?gone AWOL from his job stocking shelves at a grocery store?—?escapes into books. And the youthful Mathematician enjoys a carefree and hedonistic graduate school life, until he can no longer ignore the struggles of his fellow expatriates. In this novel of ideas, Huchu deploys satire to thoughtful end in what is quickly becoming his signature mode. Shying from neither the political nor the personal, he creates a humorous but increasingly somber picture of love, loss, belonging, and politics in the Zimbabwean diaspora.

Sprawling to the south east of the revered Harare...there is a place millions call home, Chitungwiza as in that olden track, "mushamukuru, wakaenda kupiko, Chitungwiza." It is Zimbabwe's biggest village, that became a town, that became a city, that became our own Soweto... Zimbabwe's biggest suburb yet also Zimbabwe's Hollywood. It has produced or groomed Zimbabwe's creatives and creative industry from film, by the book, poets, musicians, entertainers, academia, media practitioners, sculptors and those involved in other visual arts. In this anthology, Chitungwiza Mushamukuru: An Anthology from Zimbabwe's Biggest Ghetto Town, we have work from 1 artist and 11 writers who have called this Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe home, or have wrote home about this place, or have created artworks which highlight the culture, identity, lives, and position Chitungwiza in these matrixes or beyond those highlighted above.
In The Lay Saint, Mary Harvey Doyno investigates the phenomenon of saintly cults that formed around pious merchants, artisans, midwives, domestic servants, and others in the medieval communes of northern and central Italy. Drawing on a wide array of sources—vitae documenting their saintly lives and legends, miracle books, religious art, and communal records—Doyno uses the rise of and tensions surrounding these civic cults to explore medieval notions of lay religiosity, charismatic power, civic identity, and the church's authority in this period.
Although claims about laymen's and laywomen's miraculous abilities challenged the church's expanding political and spiritual dominion, both papal and civic authorities, Doyno finds, vigorously promoted their cults. She shows that this support was neither a simple reflection of the extraordinary lay religious zeal that marked late medieval urban life nor of the Church's recognition of that enthusiasm. Rather, the history of lay saints' cults powerfully illustrates the extent to which lay Christians embraced the vita apostolic—the ideal way of life as modeled by the Apostles—and of the church's efforts to restrain and manage such claims.
