The end of the story is wrenching; it invades the reader's space as the confrontational Dolores has invaded the falsely secure space of Irene, making it unsafe and real. The Village VoiceA high pitch of emotional intensity is sustained throughout. Christian Science MonitorA well-paced and tense story, building up to the final climactic moment. The translation is superb. Choice Poignant and powerful. Texas ObserverIt was all so recent, it all seems so close, so recognisable, even familiar .

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This novel, a classic of African literature, still speaks to us today. We look back at Africa's grotesques like Idi Amin of Uganda, Bokassa of the Central African Empire or Zaire's Mobutu, but now we must also look around us at comic opera heads of state posturing extravagantly on our domestic stages. We need this cleansing laughter.Is the funny bone a literary erogenous zone? Anyone who thinks so will certainly be turned on by Henri Lopes' The Laughing Cry . . . this writer has the same feel for the literary burlesque that Woody Allen has for the philosophical kvetch. --San Francisco Examiner.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. MICHAL VIEWEGH's short and witty novel Bringing Up Girls in Bohemia is the story of Beata Kralova and her not-so-young tutor. Beata is a 20-year-old drop-out and daughter of Denis Kral (i.e., King), a Czech new millionaire of dubious connections. Beata embraces lover after lover as well as causes new to Eastern Europe: the environment, animal rights, feminism, consumerism, new-age religion. This satirical look at Prague today by the best of the new Czech writers entertains with a parade of unnforgettable characters, the new mafiosi and their ex-secret police bodyguards, the expatriate Americans, and many an extraordinary Czech, from a cremation enthusiast to a hopelessly na ve sex-education teacher. The novel is also a serious exploration of the role of the writer in post-communist Central Europe. The narrator, himself a writer and teacher who is in love with Beata, must portray her fate in terms that explain her nihilism without losing faith in his own positive craft of story- telling. His hard-won credo as artist is to be an entertainer in a world of newly felt cruelty and suffering.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Njabulo Ndebele's prize-winning stories from South Africa's black townships first began appearing in the early 1980s in>Staffrider, a magazine given out to Soweto's black commuters, many of whom could not afford the fares into work in Johannesburg, and who thus had to ride staff outside or on top. In 1983 the stories of>Fools and Other Stories were collected and published, and they won the 1984 NOMA award, Africa's highest literary award. These stories have remained in print ever since, and the author has taken a leading role in developing black culture and education post-apartheid. He now heads the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Looking back around 2020 at his career, Ndebele noted the key influence of Steve Biko's writing in>Black ViewPoint>and Biko's work with the 1970s Black Consciousness Movement on the>Fools>collection (Biko was killed in police custody in 1977): . . . In Fools and Other Stories>I deliberately explored a world in South African townships without white people in it. The kind of communication Biko>envisaged ought to be normal in South Africa today. But it isn't yet where it should be. . . .This Readers International US edition marks thirty years from the first post-apartheid election in South Africa in 1994.…
