PositiveLos Angeles Review of BooksThe novel’s segmented structure is a testament to the need for new genres to encapsulate the polyphony of voices in the Zimbabwean diaspora ... Full of explicit accusations of blame aimed clearly at the country’s current president and the corrupt system of patronage that scaffolds his shambolic, bloodthirsty government. Therein lies its revolutionary potential, as well as its failing as a conventional novel. Glory shocks and appalls, relentlessly attacking the seat of power, but it often leaves emotion behind in its vitriolic — albeit often laugh-out-loud hilarious — lampooning of the criminal, inhumane, murderous capacities of those who hold power in today’s Zimbabwe.
