Lecture "The African Writer's Experience with European Literature" - Jameson Hotel Harare 15.10.1986, organized by the Zimbabwe German Society; introduction by Lewis Nkosi. Text reproduced in Zambezia, XIV (ii) 1987, pp. 99-111, repr. in SB, pp. 361-75, together with Marechera's second lecture in the series "Dostoevsky, Soyinka: The Writer on Trial for his Time."
The recording also contains the discussion after the lecture, chaired by Nkosi and with questions by him and members of the audience. This discussion is highly interesting in terms of DM's views and has nowhere been documented.
