Rezensionen
Petina Gappah is a favourite of ours at Emerald Street . Her novel The Book of Memory was our number one book of last year and she gave a hugely interesting and funny talk at The Emerald Street Literary Festival back in June... Rotten Row is a collection of short stories, based loosely around the road of the same name in Harare, Zimbabwe, the site of the city's criminal Magistrates' Courts...Every single one of them has a thoughtful structure that contains pulsing life.
