'Zimbabwean-American author NoViolet Bulawayo is visiting Melbourne to speak about her critically acclaimed, breathtaking first novel We Need New Names. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, the book follows the life of ten-year-old Darling, in Bulawayo's native Zimbabwe, and Darling's subsequent migration to the United States as a teenager. We're sitting on stage together, on a panel at the Melbourne Writers Festival titled 'Writing Voice'. I'm here by virtue of my debut book of fiction, the African diaspora short-story collection Foreign Soil.' (Introduction)

    'We live in a moment giddy with change. Change is constant, change is fast. Change can be its own rationale, an unquestioned, irresistible propulsion to a quickly unfolding and possibly unimaginable future. Has it ever been thus? Well, yes and no. Change is both a part of what it is to be human—a desire in many cultures for progress and growth—and one of things that makes us—in many cultures—fearful and anxious.' (Editorial)
