Publisher: Carnelian Heart Publishing (2024)Author: David Chasumba I relate with David Chasumba’s latest short story collection, Behind the Facade and Other Short Stories, in a personal way as I have watched him grow as a writer. Boasting of ten stories which are short and crispy, this book is in keeping with the Chasumba trademark, an engaging and conversational style of writing which has the reader sold from the onset and sustains interest throughout. I started waiting for a whole book of short stories from David Chasumba back in the 1990s. Then, Zimbabwe’s leading weekly, The Sunday Mail, always carried a short story…

The free-spirited wild animals here, some simple and innocent, some profound, some noble and mysterious, some authoritative and domineering, bestowed upon this land an incomparable yet full vitality of purity. I fell in love with doors-off helicopter safaris since…

A music video titled “Umurage w’amateka” (the legacy of history) and published the year preceding the book gave early indications of the approach Claver would later take. The video featured engaging animations, aimed at enabling audiences to visualize the difficult topics of the dark past and the present in a child-friendly manner. “I used illustrations, images, very light texts that children can understand.
