When I was chatting with the Zimbabwean novelist Shimmer Chinodya recently, I wondered why he didn't write biography.
Most of his novels were prescribed to be set books (worthy to be studied in high schools) by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education such as Harvest of Thorns (which won the Commonwealth Writer's Award for the Best Book in Africa in ), Chairman of Fools and Strife.
Some were even studied in tertiary institutions. Chinodya also wrote the script of the award winning film, Everyone's Child.
