Lusaka - Post Report Question and Answers

Do you recommend any books or movies about this city/country for those who are interested in learning more?

There is precious little written on Zambia. Check out The Africa House by Christina Lamb for something set in (but not about) Zambia. Maybe avoid Louise Linton's memoir, as it really gets a lot of facts and atmospherics about Zambia wrong (and Zambians really resented the book). - Jan 2017


Unfortunately, there aren't too many books written about Zambia. "Don't Let Us Go to the Dogs Tonight" by Alexandra Fuller is a compelling read but takes place several decades ago. - May 2016


"Don't let's go to the dogs tonight." "When a crocodile eats the sun." - Jul 2010
