"Musodza knows the value of creating a cyclical story, but he also understands that themes and time can be cyclical, too. ...The malaise of the past becomes the terror of the present, and good men easily become bad when the situation demands. Musodza's skill is to foster empathy within the reader for Stanley, but also for the hitchhiker, and then to demolish the feelings for both. In the end, there are no winners, and yesterday's dog is tomorrow's master. And of course he wants his own dog, too." - Damian Kelleher, 2010

“‘When the Trees Were Enchanted’ by Masimba Musodza is, by any measure, an extraordinarily fine work of fiction.- Wendy Bousfield, FutureFires.net, 2016

The Story Behind Aquilina (or, The Confession Of Hatifari Maforimbo)

Aquilina

In 2011, I published the science-fiction novel MunaHacha Maive Nei? It was widely acclaimed, which encouraged me to publish the novella, Aqulina (kana kuti, Reururo yaHatifari Maforimbo) on Amazon Kindle. Unfortunately, Kindle at that time only published in two African languages (Afrikaans and KiSwahili). So, I had to drop that project.

Then, in 2019, after I set up the Belontos Books impr

Christopher Hitchens
“I had become too accustomed to the pseudo-Left new style, whereby if your opponent thought he had identified your lowest possible motive, he was quite certain that he had isolated the only real one. This vulgar method, which is now the norm and the standard in much non-Left journalism as well, is designed to have the effect of making any noisy moron into a master analyst.”
Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir
