Glory

Inspired by Zimbabwe’s 2017 coup, Glory is a wildly inventive political satire populated entirely by animals. Bulawayo blends folklore, humour, and biting critique to create a world that’s both fantastical and painfully familiar. The novel’s energy is relentless, its language exuberant and playful. Beneath the wit lies a serious examination of tyranny, revolution, and the stories nations tell about themselves. It’s daring, distinctive, and deeply resonant.
