**SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2022**

An exhilarating Animal Farm-inspired novel about power and corruption set in an animal nation trapped in a cycle as old as time, by one of the most exciting voices writing today.

‘Bulawayo is really out-Orwelling Orwell. This is a satire with sharper teeth, angrier, and also very, very funny’New York Times Book Review

Narrated by a vivid chorus of animal voices that unveil the tyranny and ruthlessness required to uphold absolute power, Glory is the tale of an uprising and a country’s implosion. And at the centre of it all, a young goat named Destiny, returning home to bear witness to a revolution.

Urgent, wild, dazzling with life and an irrepressible wit, Glory is a razor-sharp satire that unpicks power and shows how history can be halted in a moment.

‘Glory is a masterpiece for our times. Gripping and exhilarating’ Observer

Publisher Review

A brilliant, 400-page post-colonial fable . . . Bulawayo is really out-Orwelling Orwell. This is a satire with sharper teeth, angrier, and also very, very funny . . . this is also a satire in which female characters are not pushed to the margins, but hold he story together . . . Bulawayo dares us, and the citizens of all Jidadas everywhere, to reimagine what our nations could someday become — Violet Kupersmith * New York Times Book Review * Robert Mugabe is there in all but name in this striking allegory – an Animal Farm that shows how narratives of liberation and self-determination curdle under a dictator’s power * Fiction to Look Out For in 2022, Guardian * Praise for NoViolet Bulawayo: ‘We Need New Names . . . marks a new beginning, a new shift in the African literary tradition . . . To me, it is a complete novel in terms of aesthetics and politics’ — Mukoma Wa Ngugi, The Rise of the African Novel Praise for NoViolet Bulawayo: ‘Shatteringly good’ — ANNE TYLER * GOOD HOUSEKEEPING * Praise for NoViolet Bulawayo: ‘Heartrending . . . wonderfully original’ — MARGARET BUSBY * INDEPENDENT * Praise for NoViolet Bulawayo: ‘Utterly distinctive’ — MICHIKO KAKUTANI * NEW YORK TIMES *
