Product Description
Jack Mapanje's memoir not only chronicles his imprisonment in Malawi without trial for 3 years, 7 months and 16 days but also sets out how the life of a poet and academic is viciously destroyed by the absence of academic freedom. Brilliantly crafted,with a touch of humour even in grim circumstances, this is a moving contribution to the growing world literature of incarceration. As such it has universal appeal.
