Overview

"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.
