A collection of thirteen short stories, all but one of which are set in Zimbabwe, by the Zimbabwean author Jonathan Ball. They concentrate on modern history following independence. The characters battle bureaucracy, hyperinflation, the haughtiness of those in positions of power, AIDS, misogyny, unfaithful lovers , corruption, and desire. The motivations of both those who do injustice and those who are mistreated are of interest to Gappah.
