Why Don't You Carve Other Animals?
Why Don't You Carve Other Animals is a collection of short stories. I am not a fan of books of short stories or anthologies. It easy to review a book that is packaged as a single piece of work. Unfortunately, there are always going to be stories that are more interesting than others, one or two meh stories can bring down the group average (lol). Themes and storylines may feel similar and the entire collection seems repetitive. I read it anyway. Having previously read Without A Name (1994), I knew that Vera could write something short and yet powerful. Sadly, Why Don't You Carve Other Animals did not live up to my expectations. This collection focuses only on the experiences of those who "stayed behind" during the liberation war of Zimbabwe, those who continued to work on farms, work as vendors etc. These people are a part of Zimbabwean history, but their daily lives are uninteresting, the potential of these stories is cut short by the format chosen by the author.
