"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.
