"Couto's work doesn't so much blur the generic and stylistic boundaries we normally draw as explode them."—The Boston Globe
This new collection of short fiction from Mia Couto, author of Confession of the Lioness , offers a stylistically dazzling variety of pieces tackling both timely and timeless issues: the ravages of war, the legacy of colonialism, endemic racism, and more.
