DESCRIPTION:Ten-year-old Darling and her friends navigate their shantytown with the 
 exuberance and mischievous spirit of children everywhere. But they are 
 shadowed by memories of Before. Before their homes were destroyed by 
 paramilitary policemen, before the schools closed, before their fathers 
 left for dangerous jobs abroad. When Darling escapes to suburban America, 
 she finds that-far from the comforts of her childhood community-America's 
 abundance is hard to reach, and she reckons alone with the sacrifices and 
 mixed rewards of assimilating. \n  \n\nChanneling the rhythm and vibrancy 
 of the storytellers who raised her in Zimbabwe, Bulawayo tells a potent 
 story of displacement and arrival, at once disarmingly playful and 
 devastatingly candid, with a power all its own.\n\n***\nNoViolet Bulawayo 
 is the author of We Need New Names (May 2013) which has been recognized 
 with the LA Times Book Prize Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction, the 
 Pen/Hemingway Award, the Etisalat Prize for Literature, the Barnes and 
 Noble Discover Award (second place), and the National Book Foundation “5 
 Under 35” Fiction Selection. We Need New Names was shortlisted for the 
 Man Booker Prize and the Guardian First Book Award, and selected to the New 
 York Times Notable Books of 2013 list, the Barnes and Noble Discover Great 
 New Writers list, and others. NoViolet’s story “Hitting Budapest” won 
 the 2011 Caine Prize for African Writing.\n
