Abstract

The paper identifies modernist trends in Dambudzo Marechera's The House of Hunger and Black Sunlight. Then paper highlights the features of modernism, examines the reasons for the emergence of modernism as aliterary trend and further explores the modernist deviations such as fragmentation of plot, hallucination, incoherence and stream of consciousness technique as well as apparent inordinate use of sexual symbols in Marechera's fiction. The paper argues that all the modernist techniques used by Marachera are ultimately entwined with the meaning of his work which is a portrayal of a 'sick' society where chaos, disorder and anarchy are fruits of the oppression that destroy the meaning of life.
