Gathering Evidence (The Evidence of Things Not Said) is a collection of two diary cycles and two essays. The diaries are from the period, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. The diaries gives an insight into life in Zimbabwe during these periods, 10 years ago. You find the political situation laid bare, the religious fanaticism, social constructions, the dream state, love life of the character, the weather, anything that the character thought to shone light on, and it especially gives an insight into what the writer is writing other than the diaries, whereby his writerly life and processes are tackled. One of the essays tackles issues to do with ownership and the other essay tackles that fractious opposition political landscape in Zimbabwe especially the enigma that Nelson Chamisa has become to the Zimbabweans.
