Zimbabwe: Year of Literary Intrigues

The highest point in Zimbabwean Literature 2013 was the new section of the Zimbabwe International Book Fair called the "Literary Evening" which was held at the Book Café, Harare, alongside the Book Fair in September. We were used to reading about Dangarembga, Chinodya, Chiundura Moyo and Ticha Muzavazi but suddenly they were there with us.

We were not reading their books but they were reading passages from their books to us! We sat there and slowly sipped our drinks and listened. We could even ask them questions. We could ask for their contact details. This was a rare moment for reader and writer to directly interact.
