Description:“A sensitive exploration of the concepts of identity, family, and home grounded in a rich, intricately detailed depiction of the immigrant experience of the global African diaspora.” —Kirkus ReviewsThe Hairdresser of Harare, which the New York Times Book Review called “a fresh and moving account of contemporary Zimbabwe,” announced Tendai Huchu as a shrewd and funny social commentator.

As he wanders Edinburgh with his Walkman on a constant loop of the music of home, the Magistrate?—?a former judge, now a health aide?—?tries to find meaning in new memories. The depressed and quixotic Maestro?—?gone AWOL from his job stocking shelves at a grocery store?—?escapes into books. And the youthful Mathematician enjoys a carefree and hedonistic graduate school life, until he can no longer ignore the struggles of his fellow expatriates.In this novel of ideas, Huchu deploys satire to thoughtful end in what is quickly becoming his signature mode.
