Tsiga is the long-awaited final novel of Zimbabwean writer Wilson Katiyo, author of A Son of the Soil. Written in the 1990s during his years in exile and left unfinished at his death in 2003, the manuscript was carefully edited and completed by Nigel Watt.
The novel follows Tsiga, a former liberation fighter who returns home after Independence only to find himself alienated in a society shaped by new inequalities. Haunted by betrayal and searching for lost love, he sets out to confront a powerful nationalist whose actions altered the course of his life. Through non-linear narration, sharp social observation and psychological depth, Katiyo paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of post-Independence Zimbabwe.
Both political and deeply personal, Tsiga is an essential work of African literature exploring memory, justice, love and the fragile promises of freedom.
