Jason Wallace creëert verhalen die diep geworteld zijn in zijn vormende ervaringen, met name tijdens zijn opvoeding in Zimbabwe in het post-onafhankelijkheidstijdperk. Zijn vroege jaren, gekenmerkt door culturele verschuivingen en een kostschoolopleiding te midden van belangrijke historische gebeurtenissen, vormen de basis voor zijn meeslepende debuut. Wallace' werk duikt in het ingewikkelde web van menselijke relaties en de diepgaande impact van historische verandering op individuele levens, en biedt een aangrijpende verkenning van identiteit te midden van omwentelingen.
