Diaspora Dreams
"Chatora gives us an honest account of the migrant's experiences in a world that seeks to silence him. Diaspora Dreams is simultaneously suffocating and isolating. Battle after battle, the reader is constantly thrown into the unforgiving world of a black man in a white man's world." - Tariro Ndoro, Author Agringada: Like a Gringa, Like a ForeignerDiaspora Dreams is Andrew Chatora's debut novella. It details the life and struggles of Kundai Mafirakureva, a Zimbabwean immigrant living in the United Kingdom. When Kundai departs a failing Zimbabwe for the greener pastures of England, he is convinced that his luck will immediately change. Yet what he finds in the UK convinces him that all that gl...
Where the Heart Is
"Where The Heart Is, offers a nuanced view of one family's struggle to negotiate cold Britannia as they face dicey neighbourhoods, sketchy liaisons and perennial ill-fate. The diaspora Chatora paints is not the glorified El Dorado but an honest place of grit and survival. A stellar contribution." - Tariro Ndoro, Author Agringada: Like a Gringa, Like a ForeignerFor migrant Fari Mupawaenda, life cannot be complete without quitting the back breaking struggle for survival in the UK and returning to the laid-back streets of a warm Harare? but does it make sense for him to want to return to the periphery once more? The man who returns, why does he return? To what does he return? His wife, a zealous cosmopolitan, the daughter, a conflicted bed hopping undergraduate and the son; a budding homosexual, will not follow Fari in his trip to what they see as the back of beyond. They have decided to invest fully where they are.Fari's reverse trip is a story about the human body, a tight memory test and a duel between geography and anticipation? Masterful in style and form, the narratives in Andrew Chatora's Where the Heart Is are intensely provocative.-Memory Chirere- University of Zimbabwe

Chatora roars into centre stage with this charmed confluence of the novella, the essay, the treatise, the short story and the vignette. Here is a collection to startle you out of your complacency.'' --Memory Chirere, University of Zimbabwe In his fourth literary offering, Andrew Chatora gives us eleven stories written in a wide range of settings and painting the lives of Zimbabweans from different walks of life.

Blackass
'A devastating social parable brimming with humanity and heart...' Marlon James White skin, green eyes, red hair... BLACKASS Furo Wariboko - born and bred in Lagos - wakes up on the morning of his job interview to discover he has turned into a white man. As he hits the city streets running, still reeling from his new-found condition, Furo finds the dead ends of his life open out before him. As a white man in Nigeria, the world is seemingly his oyster - except for one thing: despite his radical transformation, Furo's ass remains robustly black . . . Funny, fierce, inventive and daringly provocative - this is a very modern satire, with a sting in the tail.
Agringada: Like a gringa, like a foreigner
You wear silence sitting on the concrete floor of a library a shroud like speech Language does not belong to you… An honest exploration of dislocation and (un)belonging in its forms: exile from language, exile from country, and exile from sanity. In her debut collection of poetry, Ndoro divides and intermingles national and personal history in an attempt to reach herself. Within its fragmented prose and lyrical poems, Agringanda is not only a celebrated capture of language but also of its intriguing subversion as it navigates meetings of class, gender, nationality and race.
