Inspired by the unexpected fall by coup in November 2017 of Robert G. Mugabe, Zimbabwe's president of nearly four decades, \u003ci\u003eGlory\u003c\/i\u003e shows a country's imploding, narrated by a chorus of animal voices that unveil the ruthlessness required to uphold the illusion of absolute power and the imagination and bulletproof optimism to overthrow it completely. By immersing readers in the daily lives of a population in upheaval, Bulawayo reveals the dazzling life force and irresistible wit that lie barely concealed beneath the surface of seemingly bleak circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoViolet Bulawayo\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eWe Need New Names, \u003c\/i\u003e which was a finalist for the Booker Prize and won the PEN\/Hemingway Award, the Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction, the Hurston\/Wright Legacy Award for fiction, and the Etisalat Prize for Literature.
