Description
Extraordinary vision … his prose is suffused with striking images.—The Washington Post
To read Mia Couto is to encounter a peculiarly African sensibility, a writer of fluid, fragmentary narratives … remarkable.—The New Statesman
With a magical realism that blurs the boundaries between life and the afterlife in Mozambique, Mia Couto captures Africa today—a brilliant dissonance of old and new sounds.
