The Ear, the Eye and the Arm | comment |
A 1995 Newbery Honor Book, The Ear, the Eye and the Armnote (No, there is not a comma missing there) is a novel by Nancy Farmer set in Zimbabwe 200 years in the future.Tendai and his siblings Rita and Kuda have lived a sheltered life and have a strained relationship with their father, the renowned General Matsika. Thus, with the aid of their caretaker, the Mellower, they sneak out of the house...and into a whole lot of trouble, getting themselves kidnapped. Meanwhile, the Matsika parents are frantic with worry, so the Mellower suggests hiring some detectives he has heard of - the Ear, the Eye, and the Arm. As the Matsika children struggle to survive, the detectives race to find them before it's too late.Most notable for its heavy exploration of African myths and traditions, something that normally never appears in Western fiction. | |

Noble Savage | |
The Ear, the Eye and the Arm / int_121865ac | comment |
Noble Savage: Resthaven is a cultural preserve where a select few live the life of pre-colonial Africans. Serves as a deconstruction as the initially idyllic lifestyle is shown to be full of sexism, superstition, and child murder; it's explicitly stated such a culture can only exist as a whole and you can't pick and choose only the "good" parts.. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
The Ear, the Eye and the Arm / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: First and foremost, General Matsika, but also Myanda (who is herself a former criminal), as well as the mhondoro spirit who possesses Arm near the book's climax. Averted with the detectives themselves, who are surprisingly soft-hearted compared to their Western counterparts—but then again, before the Matsikas came along, a lot of their cases involved "sneaky husbands". | |

The Dreaded | |
The Ear, the Eye and the Arm / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Masks, however, remain The Dreaded themselves, despite the general's best efforts. Their Establishing Character Moment is the bombing of a supermarket, and their motives (assuming they have any) remain a mystery. By the time we find out who they really are, and whom they serve, it's not at all hard to believe. | |

The Ear, the Eye and the Arm / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Rita mentions that despite being their captor, at least She-Elephant made sure that the kids had enough to eat (and despite where she lives, she's quite the cook). Whereas in Resthaven, Rita gets burned with peanuts for taking a bit of food for herself. For most of the book, the She Elephant is also perfectly happy to sell the children to the Masks. When she finds out their true intentions, and when they alter the deal for good measure, she throws down. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
The Ear, the Eye and the Arm / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Arm's telepathy grows in strength as the book progresses, making him more sensitive to what other people are feeling nearby, and thus making it harder for him to function around other people. Luckily for him, he loses his telepathy due to what the Gondwannan gods do to him. Eye and Ear have similar issues with their own abilities. In addition to typical Sensory Overload and the disfiguring nature of their mutations, Eye is treated to a perpetual Gross Up Closeup of everything around him (and sunlight isn't his favorite thing either), while Ear's eponymous attributes are extremely delicate: at one point he suffers an excrutiating tear when he unfurls them in extreme winds. | |

The Wall Around the World | |
The Ear, the Eye and the Arm / int_3f28ec84 | comment |
The Wall Around the World: In Zimbabwe in 2194, Resthaven is a large preserve that has been set aside where a select few live in the Good Old Ways of pre-colonial Africa. It's large enough to hold at least a couple villages with their livestock and agriculture, and surrounded by an enormous wall to block out the sights and sounds of the modern world, mirrored on the inside to give the impression of going on forever. The residents call the wall "the edge of the world" and aren't even curious what's on the other side, knowing it only as Mwari's country. | |

The Ear, the Eye and the Arm / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: Suspecting that the detectives don't have suitable formal wear, mother gives them each a dashiki; she says that the dashikis were given to the General as a gift, and he never accepts gifts to avoid the appearance of taking bribes. The detectives note how unlikely it is that the general was gifted three dashikis that fit the detectives perfectly, including one with matching earmuffs, but are grateful nonetheless. | |

Would Hurt a Child: Most of the inhabitants of Resthaven, as long as it's a girl. It's also their practice to kill one of the babies if twins are born. Another version of this crops up at the climax. The mouth of the Big-Head Mask is lined with very small teeth, and the children are to be tortured to death. | |

Mirroring Factions | |
The Ear, the Eye and the Arm / int_4f6cf75 | comment |
Mirroring Factions: Although the Gondwannans are Zimbabwe's historical enemies and blamed for everything from locusts to headaches, Tendai surmises that they probably carry on boring lives exactly the same as the Zimbabweans. Horribly subverted when it turns out that they actually carry out Human Sacrifice by way of Cold-Blooded Torture in order to appease their Eldritch Abomination gods. A more straight example seems to be the opposing tribe in Resthaven, who engage in fist-fights with Tendai's group as a coming of age rite but are presumably virtually identical to Garikayi's tribe. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: When Rita steals some food while the siblings are in Resthaven, guess what her punishment is? They heat peanuts with coals and use them to burn her chest. Made even worse by the fact that she didn't know she was stealing; she ate because she was hungry, and didn't realize she had to ask. | |

Lovecraftian Superpower: Downplayed in the titular characters, but their powers are derived from physical mutations, and their appearances are very unsettling to others. Eye's eyes are bulbous and protruding, Ear's ears are huge and mobile (to the point where he can fold them to focus on a point like an animal's ears or curl them up for storage), Arm's namesakes are of the Creepy Long variety with (slightly adhesive) Fingers and legs to match. | |

Karma Houdini: The Mellower's mother. She hides the fact that she has Matsika's children in the hopes that he will eventually offer a reward that she can collect. This delay gives the She Elephant time to track them down, re-kidnap them, and sell them to the Masks, which almost results in their death by torture. Her consequence? 1000 hours of community service. Averted by the She Elephant, who ends up doing some jail time for her crimes despite her eventual Heel–Face Turn. | |

Although the Gondwannans are Zimbabwe's historical enemies and blamed for everything from locusts to headaches, Tendai surmises that they probably carry on boring lives exactly the same as the Zimbabweans. Horribly subverted when it turns out that they actually carry out Human Sacrifice by way of Cold-Blooded Torture in order to appease their Eldritch Abomination gods. | |

Translation Convention: Most of the characters speak chiShona unless otherwise specified. At one point, Tendai finds an antique glass bottle with English labeling, and has to work a little to translate it. Many key cultural terms (most prominently the mhondoro) are left untranslated—along with loanwords from Afrikaans, Portuguese, and a few other languages to keep things interesting. | |

Good Old Ways: Deconstructed with Resthaven. It's a natural preserve of pristine beauty, and it's a very good place to live - if you're a man. If you're a girl, you can look forward to polygamy and drudgery for the rest of your life, and if twins are born, one of the twins will be killed. Yes, probably the girl. A character who left the modern world to live in Resthaven acknowledges both the good and bad aspects, and that you can't have one without the other. | |

Eye and Ear have similar issues with their own abilities. In addition to typical Sensory Overload and the disfiguring nature of their mutations, Eye is treated to a perpetual Gross Up Closeup of everything around him (and sunlight isn't his favorite thing either), while Ear's eponymous attributes are extremely delicate: at one point he suffers an excrutiating tear when he unfurls them in extreme winds. | |
