The Maestro, The Magistrate and The Mathematician by Tendai Huchu is August's book at the Bulawayo Book Club

Tendai Huchu's novel The Maestro, The Magistrate and The Mathematician is to be discussed this weekend (30 August) at the Bulawayo Book Club.

Three very different men struggle with thoughts of belonging, loss, identity and love as they attempt to find a place for themselves in Britain. The Magistrate tries to create new memories and roots, fusing a wandering exploration of Edinburgh with music. The Maestro, a depressed, quixotic character, sinks out of the real world into the fantastic world of literature. The Mathematician, full of youth, follows a carefree, hedonistic lifestyle, until their three universes collide.
