    Sequel to Writing still and Writing now, both edited by Irene Staunton

    Other title information from cover: New stories from Zimbabwe

    A grave matter - Diana Charsley -- - Minister without portfolio - Julius Chingono -- - The chances and challenges of Chiadzwa - Edward Chinhanhu -- - Last laugh - Shimmer Chinodya -- - A land of starving millionaires - Erasmus R. Chinyani -- - Ashes - John Eppel -- - Cocktail hour under the tree of forgetfulness - Alexandra Fuller -- - The Mupandawana dancing champion - Petina Gappah -- - Reckless - Albert Gumbo -- - Specialisation - Lawrence Hoba -- - Mpofu's sleep - Brian Jones -- - African laughter - Rory Kilalea -- - A dirty game - Daniel Mandishona -- - Christmas - Bryony Rheam

    Weaver Press's previous collections of short stories, Writing Now and Writing Still, were highly praised for the quality of their prose and the imagination of their writers. They confirmed, for one reviewer, 'the paradoxical truth that troubled societies somehow produce some of the most interesting writing available. Laughing Now goes further, and demonstrates the enduring capacity of Zimbabweans to find humour in even the most difficult of circumstances. The stories embrace funerals, dancing competitions, family tensions, rampant inflation and endless queues for scarce goods. They take a wry look at pompous politicians, foreign filmmakers and the aspirations of the so-called 'new' farmers. Those by Gappah, Chingono and Eppel won the first three prizes in the recent Mukuru.com short story competition. Zimbabwean fiction in English has become world-renowned in recent decades, but its concerns - war, trauma and the trials of independence - have chronicled the pain of those periods. Laughing Now suggests that we are finding new ways to reflect our reality; that however many zeros we add to the rate of inflation, and however hungry we may become, humour is as good a responce as any

    Fielding's comic masterpiece of 1749 was immediately attacked as 'A motley history of bastardism, fornication, and adultery'. Indeed, his populous novel overflows with a marvellous assortment of prudes, whores, libertines, bumpkins, misanthropes, hypocrites, scoundrels, virgins, and all too fallible humanitarians. At the centre of one of the most ingenious plots in English fiction stands a hero whose actions were, in 1749, as shocking as they are funny today. Expelled from Mr. Allworthy's country estate for his wild temper and sexual conquests, the good-hearted foundling Tom Jones loses his money, joins the army, and pursues his beloved across Britain to London, where he becomes a kept lover and confronts the possibility of incest. Tom Jones is rightly regarded as Fielding's greatest work, and one of the first and most influential of English novels

    This carefully modernized edition is based on Fielding's emended fourth edition text and offers the most thorough notes, maps, and bibliography. The Introduction uses the latest scholarship to examine how Tom Jones exemplifies the role of the novel in the emerging eighteenth-century public sphere

    Kieran McCall's youth was a series of misguided attempts at love—a succession of sexual failures that always ended in disaster but somehow led to something worthwhile. As an adult, his failures looked like they were behind him. He married the love of his life and they had a child together, but chaos was never far away. An Idiot in Marriage follows Kieran McCall as he learns to live with the strains of married life and parenthood, from dealing with incompetent babysitters and dirty diapers to neighbors from hell, stray ducks, and a best friend who still thinks with his dick. Kieran McCall grew up, but he never matured and he never changed. He's still a little immature, he's still a little naïve, and he's still massively incompetent. Kieran may be older, but he's definitely not wiser. And if he doesn't shape up, he may risk losing it all Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Prologue -- 1.
