"Die Autorin verlangt zu viel von ihrem Buch, es soll aufklären und anklagen, zum Lachen wie zur Empörung anstiften, es will zugleich Posse und politisches Manifest sein.

Bemerkenswert ist 'Glory' dennoch, wegen des unerhörten Sounds, der hier aus den Seiten dringt und drängt. Bulawayo schreibt rasant, rhythmisiert ihre Sätze virtuos, flicht Jugendsprache ein und beweist bestes Gespür für Timing."

Loved this. A serendipitous find on the ‘take me’ shelves at daughter’s school.

As the reading year draws to a close, one book, above all the other amazing works I've read, continues to live in my mind and heart and won't let go; 's . It's epic sweep extends from bowel-loosening hilarity (President Shasha's conversations with Siri) to heartbreaking tenderness (Destiny and her mother) to unbearable scenes of violence (Destiny's first and final reading of her book and the Gukurahundi genocide). Searing, compelling, writing. @bookstodon
