First Novel Published by Malawi Author First Edition
Kwela Books 1996. Soft cover in good condition as per the photos.
When Mati Unenesyo left for the University of Fearfong to teach Creative Writing, his friends and family thought that he had managed to "drag himself from the mires of a nobody to the crest of a luminous elite". But in Manthaland, the Central African country where this story is set, things are not that simple: Mati finds that his new friendship with a former professor - something which he devoutly wished for as an undergraduate - is regarded with suspicion in some quarters; when like this Professor Chiselwood, Chi, he starts lecturing without notes and draws huge crowds of students to his classes, he gets hauled into the Principal's office. What if the luminous elite is an ominous power clique? How does one behave in such a situation? Chi teaches one approach; Vivi, a former student-friend of Mati's who now lectures in the Law Department, has another solution.
