The House of Hunger — A brutal coming of age

The House of Hunger presents an anecdotal account of the post-colonial struggle of Ian Smith’s regime, brutal in fashion and written in a manner that often made me wince by virtue of its gritty details. The House of Hunger could be viewed as a bildungsroman (coming of age), but that of flesh that has been seared open and a corrosive substance poured over the wounds.
