Chenjerai Hove is awarded stipend for new book project

Former ICORN Guest Writer Chenjerai Hove from Zimbabwe has recently received a stipend from the The Norwegian Non-fiction Writers And Translators Association (NFF). He is working on a memoir where he interconnects his own personal journey with the political developments in Zimbabwe since 1980.

The book's working title is Under the Lion King's Wings. According to Hove, it is intended to be in three parts which mark the major phases of Mugabe’s ascendency to power and the increase in violence in Zimbabwean society.
