Rezensionen / Stimmen
Allegory, satire and fairytale rolled into one mighty punch * Guardian * Brave, and moving -- Stuart Kelly * Scotsman * Vital and universal -- Hepzibah Anderson * Observer * Few writers can engineer a sentence like NoViolet Bulawayo * Irish Times * Bulawayo is really out-Orwelling Orwell. This is a satire with sharper teeth, angrier, and also very, very funny * New York Times Book Review * Glory revels in the absurd but offers a terrifying vision of political disintegration for readers today * Financial Times *Summer Reads of 2022* * An urgent and engaging meditation on the farce of totalitarianism and the struggle of those who live under it to forge something better * i * Glory is a witty and moving tribute to the people of Zimbabwe and their history * Literary Review * Bulawayo broaches what it means to fight for democracy and call somewhere home in a timely and imaginative way . . . A memorable, funny and yet serious allegory about a country's plight under tyranny and what individual and collective freedom means in an age of virtual worlds and political soundbites -- Franklin Nelson * Financial Times * It delivers, over the course of 400 pages of wordplay and animal magic, a surprisingly warm, intimate and, yes, human feeling -- Melissa Katsoulis * The Times *
