I personally find this part overly sexualized and I believe it was done intentionally. The description of the tongue is used to show that the environment of the narrator exposes him to constant assaults and what we would consider inappropriate behavior. At the same time the passage could also be interpreted as an example of the character's incompetence of speaking his mind.

p.60 First of all, me neither. However here is how I understand what happened: the priests reacted brutally to the shouting of the narrator and the rest. Something (or someone) hit the narrator on the head and caused bleeding. The wound was later stitched. Those stitches symbolize the memory from this crazy day. When he "rips off the bandages" the narrator causes more bleeding and maybe everything that follows is some type of hallucination that he saw??

p. 53 In one of my previous annotations I talked about how Marechera describes human emotions using natural phenomena. Here we see the opposite - he uses actions typical of humans "violence" "madness" and states "sleeping earth" to describe a storm. This depicts the scene much more vividly and gives the reader a sense of what it felt like to experience the storm.

p. 53 Delirium is a serious disturbance in mental abilities that results in confused thinking and reduced awareness of the environment.

A mad or silly person

The "argument" between English voices and Shona voices may be interpreted as the internal battle between the narrator and his origin, culture and national identity.

p. 51 of pdf: Merechera often uses natural phenomena to describe feelings and personal experiences. Similar to p.50 where he describes Immaculate "Her voice had an inner light stirring within it; the way clouds seem to have in their heart a trembling clarity. She spoke of many things, and fragments of things. She spoke with an intensity that seemed to refract my character the way a prism analyses clearly the light striking its surfaces. "

Who are they? (probably will find out later in the text)

Ajax went mad and tried to kill Odysseus and other Greeks. Athena intervened and made him see Greeks where there were really cattle. When Ajax recovered, he was mortified by his deeds, although still aggrieved by the slight, and so killed himself using the sword Hector had given him” by https://www.thoughtco.com/did-hector-kill-ajax-111793

this phrase is reoccurring in many places; sometimes it is used literally, and more often - metaphorically; In this case the narrator is talking about a sickness known as leaky gut or intestinal permeability in which the contents of the intestine leak into the bloodstream.

The hunger for knowledge versus the hunger for food - for the narrator both have become instincts.

The narrator makes a very important statement about money - that it's impossible to exist without it. The same concept of "lacking" or "absence" is seen here (like in one of my previous annotations).

Both the narrator and Immaculate have a secret desire to achieve something bigger than what is "acceptable" for black people at that time. As they are observing the towns over the valley they are imagining what life could be.The narrator almost falls of the edge which could be interpreted as the thin border between dreams and reality. The rock of certainty is what is predetermined to him and Immaculate. This lifestyle is safe, but monotone and pointless. In order to achieve more they will have to cross the border.

With these words Harry pretty much claims that ONLY the two of them are civilized. Afterwards, the narrator asks him t sit on the ground and he refuses.Harry is whitewashed and seems like he has forgotten his ancestry.

I like to think of Hunger as lack, but not just of food because a person can be hungry for new experiences, for knowledge, for love etc. In this sentence we see that the narrator was bullied for his lack of things.

There are two storylines - past and present. The narrator is constantly jumping from one to the other throughout the text which makes it a bit confusing.

In my opinion what is being said is that there are a few special details in everyone's life that keep the person going; in the same manner the House of Hunger is holding tight onto those instants of liveliness. The last sentence of the passage is built in a very specific way. The part surrounded by dashes tricks the reader (or at least me) into thinking that the feelings of the narrator will also cling rebelliously to the girl's spirit. I don't know if that was what he intended to do. The phrase "of course" emphasizes on the fact that THIS girl will most definitely keep her spirit like this is a part of her personality.
