Douglas Rogers is an award-winning journalist and travel writer. He was born and raised in Zimbabwe and now lives in Brooklyn, New York.
This vibrant, tragic and surprisingly funny book is the best
account yet of ordinary life - for blacks and whites - under
Mugabe's dictatorship.
*New York Times*
So do we really need another memoir by a white Zimbabwean? The
surprising answer is yes, if it's as good as Douglas Rogers' The
Last Resort. A ripping yarn, for sure. But it is in the nuance
Rogers brings to Zimbabwe that he truly excels. It moves beyond
memoir to become a chronicle of a nation. There is black and white,
yes, but much more in the shades and tones of their mix - and it is
in exploring them that Rogers, too, finds his art.
*Time Magazine*
A gorgeous, open-hearted book. Rogers manages to do the vital work
of taking race out of Zimbabwe's story and putting the heart and
humanity back into it. A must read for anyone who really wants to
understand the extraordinary decency of ordinary Zimbabweans
The man who taught me how to breathe.'
