Beskrivelse af The Seven Solitudes of Lorsa Lopez
Sony Lab'ou Tansi's surreal portrait of a despised and incompetent regime is a biting, burlesque fable, incisive in its description of postcolonial colour and chaos.
'At the time of night when dew begins to form on objects left outside, and while Fartanio Andra's insomniac cocks crowed, we heard a cry from the town square: "Help me! He's killed me!"'
History has been silenced in this modern African state: only the voices of the dead cry out for justice. It is a cry answered by Estina Bronzario, the Woman of Bronze, determined to act against the political and moral corruption of male-dominated society.
Murders escalate, crowds ebb and flow, and the years roll by. But all the while, the police never come...
'Central Africa's greatest writer.' New York Times
'No greater genius than Sony Lab'ou Tansi.' Independent
'Sublimely surreal allegory... Tansi [is] one of Africa's important voices.' Publishers Weekly
