Bryony Rheam wins a 2021 Bulawayo Arts Award for All Come to Dust





All Come to Dust has won the Outstanding Literary Work – Fiction category at the 2021 Bulawayo Arts Awards. 


The Bulawayo Arts Awards are multi-disciplinary arts awards that recognise and honour exceptional individuals and collaborative artistic efforts in the city of Bulawayo, Matabeleland North and South, as well as those from the region who are practicing arts elsewhere in the world.

This year there were over 24,000 submissions across all the categories of the awards, and Bryony is especially delighted to win the outstanding fiction award given the strength of all four of the shortlisted writers in that category.





The novel is published in Zimbabwe by amaBooks and is available in Bulawayo at Inganu Bookshop at the Orange Elephant, 12th Avenue Extension and in Harare at Bindu Books, 37 Victoria Drive, Newlands.








In the United Kingdom, it is co-published by amaBooks and Parthian Books and is available through all good bookshops as well as through www.parthianbooks.com/products/all-come-to-dust and online book outlets.

In North America and Australia/New Zealand it is available through www.africanbookscollective.com or Amazon.
