    ]]>     http://www.douglasrogers.org/blog/?feed=rss2&p=275 0     BRIAN CHIKWAVA: THE FIG TREE AND THE WASP http://www.douglasrogers.org/blog/?p=268 http://www.douglasrogers.org/blog/?p=268#comments Wed, 12 May 2010 19:38:31 +0000 DouglasRogers http://www.douglasrogers.org/blog/?p=268 A remarkable essay by Brian Chikwava in the ’sex’
    issue of the current Granta involving figs, wasps, Zipra guerillas and
    an erotic rural dance. Zimbabwean Chikwava is the author of Harare
    North,     published in the UK last year, about a charismatic Green Bomber
    (Mugabe militaman) who lands up in a delinquent squat in Brixton
    after claiming asylum, and is trying to earn enough ‘termites’ – British
    pounds – to get back to Zim and pay off his militia commander. The book
    is extraordinary – A Clockwork Orange meets Amis’s London Fields – if
    Keith Talent was a childish smooth talking killer from Zimbabwe. I
    finished it two weeks ago and it’s still spinning smooth jazz numbers in
    my head. More on Harare North later. Here’s The Fig Tree and the Wasp.

Last I looked it was No. 8 in Biography, three behind Elizabeth Gilbert’s minor seller. Push the book past her by ordering several hundred copies for close friends here. We’ll catch her yet.
