This multimedia collection inspired by the life and work of the Zimbabwean
cult writer Dambudzo Marechera (1952-1987) demonstrates the growing
influence of this author among writers, artists and scholars worldwide and
invites the reassessment of his oeuvre and of categories of literary
theory such as modernism, postmodernism and postcolonialism. Including a

postcolonial and postmodernist literature and culture, as well as
