More quotes by Petina Gappah

Authentic is one of my least favourite words because in such a diverse country, whose authenticity are you talking about?

It is hard not to find humour in Zimbabwe’s politics and current state of absurdity

That’s how I want to write, constantly improving, and surprising myself.

Humour is absolutely the lens through which I perceive the world

I am interested in writing into being a Zimbabwe that feels complete, and not one that is only peopled with those of whom I approve
