"The Book of Not is award-winning. Tsitsi Dangarembga's sequel to Nervous Conditions. It is a powerful and engaging story about one young woman's quest to redefine the personal and political forces that threaten to engulf her.
This novel disrupts any comfortable sense of closure to the dilemmas of colonial modernity explored in Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions. Life 'happens' to Tambu and she must make another journey, haunted continually by Nyasha's warning that we cannot go on doing only what is necessary, picking the skin off our chicken to avoid the fat that lurks beneath it. This is a most engrossing and provocative sequel that already begs another. I can't wait for the next book!
