| adam_text | When he lands in Harare North , our unnamed
protagonist carries nothing but a cardboard suitcase
full of memories and a longing to be reunited with his
childhood friend, Shingi. Having eventually made his
way through immigration, he spends a few restless
weeks as a very unwelcome guest in his cousin s
home before locating Shingi in a Brixton squat.
In this astonishingly original debut, Caine Prize winner
Brian Chikwava tackles head-on the realities of life as
a refugee. This is the story of a stranger in a strange
land
-
one of the thousands of illegal immigrants
seeking a better life in England
-
with a past he is
determined to hide. From the first line the language
fizzes with energy, humour and not a little menace.
As our hero struggles to make his way in London (the
Harare North of the title), negotiating life outside the
legal economy and battling with the weight of what he
has left behind in a strife-torn Zimbabwe, every
expectation and preconception (both his and ours) is
turned on its head. The inhabitants of the squat
function at various levels of desperation, at the mercy
of unscrupulous employers and wary of exploitation
and discovery: Shingi struggles to find meaningful
work and to meet the demands of his family back
home: Tsitsi makes a living renting out her baby to
women defrauding Social Services; Alex claims to
have an important job in Croydon.
Fearlessly political, laugh-out-loud funny and with
an anti-hero whose voice is impossible to forget,
Chikwava
s
novel is an arresting account of London
as it is experienced by the dispossessed.
Brian Chikwava is among the exciting new
generation of writers emerging from the
African continent. His short story Seventh
Street Alchemy was awarded the
2004
Caine Prize for African Writing. He has been
a Charles Pick fellow at the University of
East
Anglia,
and was the recipient of an Arts
Council grant in
2005.
He lives in London.
