TURNING BACKWARDS TO AN UNEASY PAST

A review of 'White Gods, Black Demons'
Bella Matambanadzo

The ‘magic’ of Daniel Mandishona's ‘White Gods, Black Demons’ is that  ‘it feels startlingly familiar’, writes Bella Matambanadzo. Another book to add to the ‘treasure trove’ of literature in Mandishona’s anthology of short stories is ‘the product of prodigious observation and research’, writes  Matambanadzo. ‘What a reader will cherish is that there is a kind of fidelity about the stories that leaves you knowing it to be true', while healthy 'doses of candour give breadth and wisdom, to what is a  collection of comic tragedy told with tenderness'.
