Glory

NoViolet Bulawayo

Service95 Recommends the political satirical novel Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo, an Orwellian satire that draws inspiration from the 2017 coup in Zimbabwe. Explore Glory and other reviews with Service95 Recommends.

What We Say: A satirical work that explores themes of political oppression and government surveillance, it aims to spark conversations about the importance of democracy, freedom of speech, feminism and the distribution of power.

What They Say: "Spellbinding... this social media-saturated narrative, interwoven with the oral storytelling techniques of idiomatic speech and call and response, makes Bulawayo feel like a pioneer... Glory, with a flicker of hope at its end, is allegory, satire and fairytale rolled into one mighty punch" – Sarah Ladipo Manyika
