Chris Wadman The Unlikely Genius of Dr Cuthbert Kambazuma

Chris Wadman has written a novel of startling originality. In the best tradition of political satire, he combines humour and tragedy, and introduces a cast of characters that run riot across the near lunacy of the Zimbabwean landscape: Teddington is a man on the make and, after inadvertently delivering a busload of opposition politicians to Harare’s chief psychiatric facility, he is rewarded with a farm by top war veteran Hitler Jesus. Not far away at The William Westward Children’s Home, the director, and his ginger-haired sidekick struggle to feed and clothe the multitude of orphans until they chance upon, of all things, a moth exporting business. When Teddington’s farm can no longer support his spiralling ambitions, he turns his attentions to the well-run and now prosperous orphanage. Enter bogus goblin-catcher and con-man extraordinaire Cuthbert Kambazuma. Does he have the power to keep Teddington and the Green Bombers at bay, or will the orphanage fall into their rapacious hands? Condition: very good. Price R170.
