The best fiction of 2022: NoViolet Bulawayo's Glory found new ways to write about violence and peace

NoViolet Bulawayo, author of Glory. NyeLynTho

A young woman learning to love, the children inspired by her, and the collective voice of a village community recovering from violence and corruption assemble a powerful message of resistance. The hope is to create “the kind of glory that burns eternal and glows with living light”. Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo was a runner up to this year’s Booker Prize.

As described by the Booker committee, Glory “is an energetic and exhilarating joyride from NoViolet Bulawayo … the story of an uprising, told by a vivid chorus of animal voices that help us see our human world more clearly.”
