As a recent interviewer noted, to read NoViolet Bulawayo’s extraordinary and unforgettable novel, We Need New Names, ‘is to be plunked down in Paradise, a shantytown in Zimbabwe – running alongside 10-year-old Darling and her friends, stealing guavas, arms outstretched to meet the wind’.

The account of Darling’s move to a new life in America has affected readers worldwide, and won the author a place on the 2013 Man Booker Prize shortlist. NoViolet Bulawayo talks about her work with Radio New Zealand’s Lynn Freeman.
