Yvonne Vera (19 September 1964 – 7 April 2005) was an author from Zimbabwe.[1] Her first published book was a collection of short stories, Why Don't You Carve Other Animals (1992), which was followed by five novels: Nehanda (1993), Without a Name (1994), Under the Tongue (1996), Butterfly Burning (1998), and The Stone Virgins (2002). According to the African Studies Center at University of Leiden, "her novels are known for their poetic prose, difficult subject-matter, and their strong women characters, and are firmly rooted in Zimbabwe's difficult past[2]." For these reasons, she has been widely studied and appreciated by those studying postcolonial African literature.[3]
