Penguin African Writers Series: Black Sunshine Dambudzo Marechera EAN: 9780143026204 Release Date: 1 August 2009 In an unspecified setting the narrative traces the fortunes of a group of anarchists in revolt against a military-fascist-capitalist opposition. The central character is a press photographer, Chris, whose camera lens becomes the device through which Marechera cleverly unravels the story’s incidents. |
| Marechera says the book was influenced by the Baader-Meinhof story about German terrorists: ‘I really tried to put terrorism into a historical perspective, neither applauding their acts nor condemning them. The photographer does not take sides, he just takes the press photographs.’ | |
