Certified introvert. I'm a fan of two sentence bios.

I'm ridiculously proud of this. Huge thanks to the Surging Tide team and Hua Xi for believing in my work.
Surging Tide has given my work a home twice in the same year. Super grateful 🙏

@its_august_ine @__olamilekan___ Come on💀 a clear eyed, subtle and (relatively) short novel? Sign me up

[Farai Chaka @FJChaka]

@__olamilekan___ From what I've heard, though, Dream Count ranks last so for me it probably will. I don't see her surpassing her first three noveld

[Farai Chaka @FJChaka]

@__olamilekan___ Haven't read Dream Count but it's third on my list💀 its Purple Hibiscus, Americana then HOAYS

Imagine trying to hate the guy who wrote Leaving the Atocha Station

[Farai Chaka @FJChaka]

Sad thing about the rise of Dj Ollah-esque media machines where artists' controversies/ personal struggles are treated as content is that we have artists at their peak (eg Takura, Holy Ten) but no one is bothered to ask about their creative process/artistry. Its always drugs sex

@takosaspinster Why is he staring at me?

[Farai Chaka @FJChaka]

White people in Zim love to have some shades on whilst driving

[Farai Chaka @FJChaka]

Why exactly are the (corrupt) Zimbabwean elites selling their lifestyles to us? Why do we care so much which cars, phones, jets, clothes they have. Is it to make it look like it's attainable to the general masses (it's not.) I don't understand why so many people are captivated

That 50k word mark on this project is going to hit me like crack

You can always tell when Ten wrote the lyrics for the person he featured on a song😂

[Farai Chaka @FJChaka]

@ipreferrodney 😂😂😂 I'm so done with her bruh

[Farai Chaka @FJChaka]

@its_august_ine 💀😂😂 the holiday is almost here. You'll thank me later

Have read a bunch of short story collections in the past year but of all those, I think about Ling Ma's Bliss Montage a lot
