Absent: The English Teacher

By Eppel John

	10.00 E

"For all its robust humour, Absent: The English Teacher is a sad novel, a lament for a ravished country and the many lives wasted in pursuit of power for the few. It may be too divided in purpose to be a perfect novel, but it is a fascinating addition to the range of novels that have tracked Zimbabwe's growth to independence and its subsequent decline into despotism."

Sunday Independent, South Africa

"... a welcome contribution to the literatures of the region, and Zimbabwe in particular ... a satirical attack on the values and practices that have led to the meltdown not only of the economy, but of morals and commonsense."

Robert Muponde, University of the Witwatersrand

"Suffice it to say that only a master storyteller could have achieved all this within the space of 145 pages. I would recommend that everyone grasp the opportunity to be gripped by this book."

Die Burger, South Africa
