Moments in the Private Room is a piercing exploration of Zimbabwean society by the debutant author, Kudzai Mhangwa. As his creative lens moves through time and circumstances in an uncanny yet authentic voice that manages to be both satirical and heartfelt, each story is poignantly nuanced and articulates something most of us have likely felt at some point in our lives. From the pangs of love to the comforts of friendship, the thrilling vexation of chasing a dream to the burden of expectations - the perplexity of it all. And at the heart of everything is the complexity of human character, its strengths and shortcomings, its beauty and messiness that is as iridescent as the stories themselves.
