Offer Description

“Avenues by Train” is a bold and experimental debut novel by Zimbabwean writer Farai Mudzingwa, weaving together the psychological with the supernatural in a powerful narrative of loss, trauma, and healing.
✨ The story follows Jedza, a young Zimbabwean man who, after witnessing a childhood tragedy involving a train and the death of his closest friend, becomes convinced that he is haunted.
✨ As he relocates to the shadowy, enigmatic Avenues district in Harare, he is forced to confront not only his impoverished present but also the deeply buried traumas of his past: the disappearance of his sister, visions of ancestral spirits, and the wrath of traditional mythological beings such as the njuzu and ngozi.
✨ Laced with ancestral folklore, surrealist undertones, and a raw introspective style, Avenues by Train is not only a compelling tale but also an innovative take on African speculative and literary fiction.
✨ The novel explores themes of migration, mental health, belief systems, and masculinity—anchored in a voice both deeply rooted and bracingly modern.
