Now Available: 'Blisters Of Chimurenga' a novel by Marshall Shumba

Blisters Of Chimurenga features a cast of unforgettable characters thrust into the power game of death and deprivation in present day Zimbabwe. In this debut novel, Marshall Shumba, a Zimbabwean author/performer/educator, has brought us a fast-paced popular-fiction-style story to illustrate and document a portion of the peoples' history of enduring the violence of colonization in Zimbabwe.

'Vivid in portraying the impact of the current Zimbabwean crisis on ordinary citizens, and lucid in projecting the realities and struggles of peoples' daily lives, Marshall Shumba sees his characters, of all colors, as part of the land they inhabit. The people suffer, the land suffers with them.'

In that, Marshall Shumba has told the people's version of the story of colonization every where.

'Islands Unto Ourselves' a Novel by Gomathy Puri

We are happy to announce the title of our next eBook, 'Islands Unto Ourselves', a novel by Gomathy Puri that was recently launched in its Paperback Edition (Larkuma 2012).

'Islands Unto Ourselves' is a novel about two migrant families, their hopes and wishes, challenges and triumphs. It has been critically acclaimed by critics as a simply told, gripping story. Alka Kumar, an associate Professor at Delhi University says this about the novel:

'There are many stories here, interwoven and criss-crossing, and many characters cross each other’s paths as they go about their business. They are stories of Kamala and Rakesh, Rekha and Gopal, Ben, others too, of immigrant experience and of negotiating old identities in new landscapes, of changing political scenarios. All themes that typically haunt diaspora writing proliferate this space. The novel explores primarily the theme of bi-cultural identities and people living simultaneously in two worlds.
