 HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - The Zimbabwe International Book Fair once attracted agents, publishers and authors from around the world.
This year, amid the country's deepening economic and political crisis, the fair was a shadow of its former self. The only foreign exhibitor at the event, which ended Saturday, was the embassy of Iran — offering Islamic tracts and political brochures.
"What is amazing is that this fair happens at all," said Kudzi Kaparadza, a high-school teacher visiting from Bromley, 25 miles east of Harare.
