Chinodya’s battle with religion
The strife that Shimmer Chinodya highlights in the title of one of his novels seems to be trailing the award-winning author in real life.
October 21, 2012
REPORT BY GODWIN MUZARI
In his quest to get to the bottom of most religions, Chinodya divorces himself from beliefs and convictions around him, distancing himself from his being.
He rants and curses, obviously failing to suppress seething anger, as he talks about self-discovery and the superstitious world around him.
Chinodya’s new interest in his writings is to probe religions and he seems to disagree with most forms of worship in various beliefs.
In a protracted interview with StandardLife&Style on Thursday, Chinodya said he is “beautifully confused about human beliefs and their authenticity”.

Interesting and thoughtful writer. Never heard of him before. I'll have to pick up his book.
